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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.4/100, a mean average of 79.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

This is a far more digestible Frank Zappa release with a lot of the songs sounding closer to the music at the time than the classic and abstract sound he usually performs. That makes this the perfect album in my opinion to start listening to Zappa as you still get the nuances but they are a lot more subtle. The music still works brilliantly with the instrumentation being layered and diverse just like always. I think the drums and keyboards are fantastic on here but what steals the show is the guitar for me. It drives every song it is present on forward and has some phenomenal solos as well. As a whole the album is so consistent with there not really being a weak track on here at all. Furthermore, there is so much to dive into on here with there being something new I discover with each listen. Plus Inca Roads is just a musical marvel. Overall, this is an under rated album that is one of Zappa's more accessible releases but it still maintains that high level of musicianship and general genius of his previous releases.
100/100
Best Zappa album i listen to so far
The Mother's best
As stated in many reviews this is one of the more accessible Zappa albums. Inca Roads is a masterpiece in its own right with some superb guitar work. As with a lot of Zappa works, I hear something different with every listen.

It is the best Zappa album in my opinon
One of the more professional, if that's the right term, of the Mother's albums. It actually sounds as if it was worked on rather than just made up as they went along. An underrated Zappa record.

Great album! Feels like an acid trip. A good one :)
There's no place for average in here.
Florentine Pogen is an hallucinated masterpiece.
this album is too rarely listened by plastic people
So many great Zappa albums, but you can't go wrong with this if you are a casual fan. Great tunes abound.
