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 13% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.3/100, a mean average of 74.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.0.

Good, surprised it's not more popular. "Atomic Man" and "Creep in a T-Shirt" are funky and cool.
The first 4 songs are among the best that I've ever heard

Awesome job. Portugal. The Man keeps trying new stuff without abandoning their sound, and Danger Mouse helped a lot on this one, making a great and catchy album. Creep In a T-Shirt, Evil Friends, Plastic Soldiers, PYR&B are some of the stand-out tracks, Smile is a perfect way to finish it.

Portugal. The Man did this album with Danger Mouse and you can totally tell. The perfect mix of the two, it's a great album.
This is a great album from a great band. They changed their sound a little bit but mixed the new elements with their own usual style.
Overall, I think it is their most consistent record yet. Every song is solid and pretty darn catchy.
