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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.9/100, a mean average of 76.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

For better or worse, the most definitive, genre-identifying "acid rock" album ever made.
Very different sound (less folkish) than Surrealistic Pillow due to writing credits shifting from Balin to Kantner.
And as a final note, Jack Casady's bass playing here is some of the best in all of rock music. (Edited)
The Airplane was at their peak, with the second of four amazing records in a row. Surrealistic Pillow is considered by many to be their best—and certainly is the best-known—of the four, but Baxter's is really just as good, and the songs on here are more dynamic and hold more surprises. “Martha” and “The Ballad of You and Me and Pooneil” are just two examples of the haunting psychedelia that permeates throughout, with harmonies floating in and out like groovy friends visiting. Everyone contributes equally. Jorma and Jack drive “The Last Wall of the Castle,” while Grace delivers one of her most beautiful songs with the controversial “Rejoyce” (“War’s good business, so give your son/And I’d rather have my country die for me"). There are wry sentiments throughout the songs, such as “The rain slides down the sides of my face./Must be a rainy day. I get lost in yesterday and tomorrow,” from “Young Girl Sunday Blues.” And all of it is delivered with the infectious say-anything spirit of the times. The surprising thing is how well it all stands up now. (Edited)

A metaphysical epic of life and love. This is a psychedelic masterpiece and highly underrated it seems. I find it hard to find anything, besides the skit-like track after the opener, that is less than incredible. I'm pretty sure "Watch Her Ride" is one of the best songs I've ever heard, no hyperbole. Just incredible, front to back.
I tried not to be biased because of the album name. I also just found out that "Pooneil" is Fred Neil, which is amazing. (Edited)
This is an even more psychedelic record than, surrealistic pillow. After bathing at Baxters, goes the whole LSD hog. It's extremely messy but it is a lot of fun and there are some good songs, especially, Martha, rejoice, and, spare chaynge. Uneven and inconsistent but repeated listens brings out the songs and sounds.
Surreal album. A bit all over the place, but it works. Nice counter to Surrealistic Pillow. (Edited)
