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 80.8/100, a mean average of 79.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.4.

After recording the heavily produced, African American-influenced Doble Vida with Carlos Alomar, Gustavo Cerati decided he wanted a new direction for the band and so their next album would feature a stripped down, live quality to favor the songs over studio effects. With this release Soda Stereo moved away from their New Wave origins and fully embraced the distorted romance of anthemic rock, creating a style that was very modern and alternative and yet had a very classic rock feel to it. Canción Animal is a masterpiece of raw elegance and infectious minimalism, where pumping basslines, explosive choruses and epic vibrato-abusing solos are the order of the day. From the controversial cover art, featuring two lions mating, to the iconic opening chords of 'De Música Ligera' (which has become Rock en Español's de facto anthem), this is Soda Stereo at the top of their game.

Simplemente impresionante, tremenda combinación de super riffs y vocales impresionantes merecen el nivel de atención de los mejores, esta obra atrae al mundo entero, a largas, uno de los mejores álbumes del Rock argentino
One of the best latin american rock albums ever - If not the best. The best track is "De Musica Ligera", which in south america is considered a classic. Trully recomended.
