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 79.0/100, a mean average of 77.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

Oh boy, I "avoided" this band for so long, I didn't know what I was missing! This might be their best, or at the very least it best represents the band as a whole. There are the somewhat crazy, but super fun songs like Grass and Purple Bottle, and then there are the stripped down, psychedelic, sometimes borderline ambient pieces, like Bees, Daffy Duck - the latter reminds me of Talk Talk at their finest. Awesome stuff, awesome band.

I cant expain the way this album makes me feel in a wholly rational way but I'll try my best not to alienate. Like many others, my love affair with this band began in discomfort, but now I don't feel at all confused or disoriented by its sound.
A near perfect album to me. Exploding with emotion that mimics an isolated screech into the void. A great premonition of what AnCo would do in the years to follow. Constantly juxtaposing arrangements akin to childlike exploration with cacophonous screeching, there are truly few albums as unique as this one, which is not unexpected for the group in question.

Really the only Animal Collective album I listen to over and over again. Every song is almost perfect and I never want to skip any of them. Truly great stuff here. Helps that I saw them two nights in a row back in the day. Probably my favorite album of 2005!

Forget Merriweather, this is the album that will hook you into Ac, one magical album...
