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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.3/100, a mean average of 78.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

A very interesting new group for me. never heard before. The breath of fresh air with very well-crafted vocal work. (Edited)
This is a very cute and fun album that has a lot of great cuts on. Almost every track is quick paced and easy to sing a long to and just have a good time while listening. This atmosphere is kept consistent the whole way through and it is difficult to find a dull moment. The one criticism is that it can be a bit simple at times and so when you come back to this album after a few listens there isn't loads to explore. On the whole, this album is so enjoyable and worth a listen if you want to feel good.

Fantastic, beautiful album that could only exist in the late 60s. It sounds like a legitimate response to Pet Sounds and Sgt. Peppers. Really blown away. (Edited)

Brilliant album, every bit the equal of the Beatles' or Beach Boys' contemporary efforts. Though unfortunately known to only a small few. The songwriting here is top-notch, with some brilliant production touches and creative arrangements. Not a weak moment here. Wonderful. (Edited)
A very good but obscure record.
