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 79.2/100, a mean average of 78.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.6.

This is definitely Animal Collectives most emotional album as they really slow down their songs and allow the instruments to truly dominate the music. This creates a rich soundscape for the listeners to enjoy and to explore. Also, they have these up tempo tracks that are more like the Animal Collective we know, with the wild beats and brilliant vocal. It creates a fantastic blend of songs that really work well together. However, I do think some tracks are too slow and I am really not a fan of the track Daffy Duck. That being said I love this album and it is among the groups best ever.

This is easily the best Animal Collective album. The concept of doing a whole album tuned to an out of tune piano is pretentious, but at the same time there is nothing quite like this. In other words, they pulled it off. It's raw, fun and trippy af!

I wrote a very long comment on my interpretation of this album....then realized I was logged out, so the comment disappeared. DAMMIT!!!

In short, this is my favorite Animal Collective album and one that I think is the easiest to relate to given the more raw emotion. The lush, though soft, instrumentation adds to Avey Tare's commonly quiet vocals and the whole album feels as though someone is whispering to their diary, unveiling their deepest feelings in secrecy.

Underrated as hell, an expansion on the freak folk of Sung Tongs combined with piano and an increasing penchant for melodies

Freak folk (apparently)

I really struggled with this one , the unstructured nature of the songs along with the repetitive rhythms takes some getting used to

In particular I didn't get "Bees" with it's strumming harp overlay-ed with "The Bees / The Bees / The Bees " lyrics , nor "Daffy Duck" with its slow tempo dirge

I guess Animal Collective must be an acquired taste I haven't developed yet as I similarly didn't enjoy 'Merriweather Post Pavillion"

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!

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.

One of the best albums of 2005 and by extension, the decade.
