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 79.6/100, a mean average of 78.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.7.

This is such a great album. It should be number one in 2002 over the great 4 alt/indie albums of that year which I still love, Rush of Blood To the Head, Turn On the Bright Lights, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, and Yankee Foxtrot Hotel. This is so different and so much more and I know why it's not number 1, it's so misunderstood for simplicity when it's so creative and just great.

Scariest listen of my life. Ending with Magic Window was the most nerve-racking couple minutes ever, even after multiple listens. This album is the epitome of an underrated masterpiece
Geogaddi is a dense and subtle listening experience. Listeners should approach the album with an open mind as what to expect from listening. Most tend to take something completely different from the album; some will find this album soothing and remorseful, and some will find it haunting and subtly evil. Animals and pets have even been reported to act strangely when this album is playing! Now isn’t that interesting? Whatever the case, most will come to agree that Boards of Canada’s Geogaddi is an outstanding IBM release that stands up to Music Has A Right To Children as a more than competent follow-up effort. In truth, it can even become a classic itself in its own subtle and eerie way.

A god tier album that demonstrated that we as a species have to be self aware in this crazy world. Past nor present, be mindful of the situation. (Edited)
