Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.7/100, a mean average of 76.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.0.

On a winter day
Good, but kept repeating the same basic stuff. Didn’t really very from track to track.
Fantástico debut de The Mamas And The Papas, con un cancionero de calidad similar a la de cualquier recopilación, Monday Monday y California Dreaming, entre otras, son clásicos imperecederos.
the unmistakable sound.
California Dreamin' is the absolute star of the album, it's impossible for the rest to catch up.

This is a solid album featuring great vocals. The harmonies on the first half of the album are as good as they can get. The voices combine perfectly on every song. After "California Dreamin'" everything goes downhill. There isn't anything worth listening to on the latter half of the album. Most of the songs are basic but at least the songs at the start of the album have some nice harmonies.

Marcou a geração flowers power!
Really lovely album. You can really see the shifting trends in pop music at the time through this record as rich voices are interspersed with touches of psychedelia and slightly more offbeat instrumentation.
Underrated. A monument of an album. One of the multiple apotheosis of the 60's rock.
