Rating metrics: Help 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 81.1/100, a mean average of 80.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

Si la prensa musical no fuera tan anglocentrista, "Bocanada" fácilmente estaría en el top 5 de discos de los 90's y entraría en el top general de la historia. No le pide absolutamente nada a producciones de otros países. Es una genuina obra maestra llena de diversidad y sonidos espectaculares.

The most impressive albums are those that say something different to you every time you hear them. This album has such strength and yet there's some lightness. It is full of color and complex textures but gives the impression of simplicity as if every sound was naturally there from the beginning. I remember hearing it for the first time; I was overwhelmed by the number of details put in every song. Nowadays, I feel at peace when I hear it: every single piece fits. I've also jumped around from favorite songs to favorite songs. I guess that if you had only 20 minutes to approach the album "Tabú", "Bocanada", "Río Babel" and "Paseo Inmoral" will give you the idea of the whole album.

I don't know if 4 year old me would have loved this album. But what is certain, present me is loving the hell out of this album. Need to cop this album as well. A well mix of rock and electronics and Gustavo's beautiful voice. Wish, I got to this sooner. Oh well.

He aquí uno de los mejores discos latinos, y en lo personal me atrevería a decir que el mejor, ya que no tiene nada que envidiar a la música anglosajona. La producción es impecable, las canciones son clásicas e innovadoras, el virtuosismo de Cerati va más allá de su guitarra, ya que también se revela como un gran cantante y letrista, pues no necesita de líricas complejas para alcanzar la profundidad que golpea en tu cabeza, tan sólo con unas pocas palabras y metáforas logra hacer que el escucha se pierda en la poesía de sus letras simples y bellas, con grandes frases entrañables. En éste disco podemos ir desde el trip-hop ("Bocanada") hasta la música orquestal ("Verbo Carne"), pasando por la experimentación electrónica ("Alma") y las guitarras más rockeras ("Paseo Inmoral"), incluso hay un poco de jazz ("Balsa") y sonidos folclóricos andinos ("Raíz"). Es difícil elegir una sola canción, ya que el conjunto de melodías es ecléctico y todas funcionan con increíble cohesión, mencionaré sólo un clásico que es "Puente". A pesar de lo extenso del álbum, en ningún momento es aburrido o monótono, a cada escucha ofrece siempre detalles nuevos; nuevamente, es uno de esos discos que tienes que escuchar de principio a fin y a oscuras para sumergirte por completo en él y sin más pretensiones que el placer de viajar con tu imaginación, desde el principio vertiginoso de "Tabú", hasta llegar al final acompasado e hipnótico de "Balsa". Sin duda es la cumbre creativa de Gustavo Cerati y el álbum que todo el que quiera descubrirlo debería escuchar. Creo que Cerati fue mucho más grande sin Soda Stereo, claro, es inútil negar el legado de Soda Stereo y las canciones clásicas que nos dejaron, pero Cerati como solista pudo dar rienda suelta a sus experimentaciones y desarrollar su técnica a alcances mucho mayores y universales.
