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 84.9/100, a mean average of 84.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

A superb whimsical psychedelic album. I love the vocal harmonies, organ soloing on Time Of The Season and flute flourishes in other places on the album. Love it!
Lovely album.

“A sweet confusion filled my mind - Until I woke up only finding everything was just a dream - A dream unusual of its kind - That gave me peace and blew my mind” Those lyrics sum it up for me.

The best album you've never heard ? Not really , its ranked 108 on the over all list so clearly its dearly loved by a lot of listeners including myself
The harmonies and piano are simply beautiful and rewards the listener with multiple listens
To appreciate how great this album is understand this: in 2019 The Zombies were inducted into the Rock and Roll and lets be honest it's on the back of this album , The Zombies really didn't release anything else of note
Beautiful
Timeless
and
Uplifting

Such a sleeper of an album. I readily overlook this as a album just "Time of the Season" but in reality it is solid all over.
The voice of this singer is so good, and the compositions here are marvelous. The Zombies put out their view in pshychedelic sound, being this album one of the last and best of this era.

A 60s psychedlic masterpiece of the same class as Love's Forever Changes, Sgt Pepper's, and the Doors self titled. I'm not even sure the Beach Boys could acheive harmonies this good.
