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 76.5/100, a mean average of 76.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

mergulho na mística do pântano.

Pretty unique stuff. Doesn't sound that great but there are a lot of cool ideas that manage to get through the mix.
highly rated but not by me

Its influence is undeniable, but there are multiple sections of this album that feel like full-on bad trip fodder.

I really wish I liked this more. The vibe is great, it feels haunted and spooky, but like a lot of psychedelic music it feels pretty aimless.

Interesting piece of art. First I expect something like Captain Beefheart but I was not disappointed it is a good Album i would say it is one step with Trout Mask Replica. You can really hear the voodoo influence it is inspired by jazz and psychedelic rock. I like it because the melodie are good and the voice of Dr John is outstanding.
Real voodoo vibe.
Brilliant voodoo blues. A superb record; atmospheric and gritty it's a perfect late night, lights out record. Brilliant.
This is a real voodoo album. At the time Rebennack really believed in that stuff.

I think "Dr. Dre" learned a lot from "Dr. John"!
