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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 86.1/100, a mean average of 85.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.2.

I don't understand
Great album, falls off a bit in the second half though.
Their most focused album. Best songs are Pale Blue Eyes , Candy Says, Jesus, and The Murder Mystery

Some of my favorite songs, but not my overall favorite VU album.
"Una hermosa pieza de arte"
Un dizco hermoso de la mano de los abuelos del rock alternativo. Melodías que te hacen viajar a estados alterados de conciencia, como el caso de "Candy Says", "Pale Blue Eyes", "Jesus" y "I`m set free", otras que te motivan con un ritmo de cabalgata, en "What Goes On", "Begining to see the light". Obra imprescindible a quienes gusten del rock alternativo de los 80-90 tipo yo la tengo, pavement, etc.

Tbh this is the best VU album. It's like a sugar coated "VU & Nico" and "WL/WH".

Truly a special mood this one has.
Focus on the minimalistic approach but very crafty.
Bass & guitars are simple but very detailed.
The drums are small but spot on.

I prefer Candy Says and After Hours. Good Album deserves it´s place under the top 500.
Pale Blue Eyes is one of the most beatiful songs ever written
