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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.7/100, a mean average of 75.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.0.

Brainwashed was to be George Harrison's last album. He was working on it till close to his death in November 2001. It was finished and co-priduced by friend and producer Jeff Lynne, and the sound is quite similar to their previous collaborations in the Travelling Wilburys and George`s "Cloud Nine" album. George`s son Dhani also played a big part on the album.
Even though it is sad that George is no longer among us, it is actually a very uplifting album. Many of the songs are on level with George's very best work. Lyrically it's a very moving and mature album. The optimistic "Any Road" opens the albums and set the mood from the beginning. Great catchy country tune with George on his charateristic slide guitar. "P2 Vatican Blues" sounds a lot like a Wilbury song; also a very good track.
"Pisces Fish" is an outstanding song; great melody with thoughful lyrics. Somehow it reminds me of Donovan at his best. "Looking For My Life" in spite of the upbeat tune, this is George looking back well aware that he may not have many days left to live.
Songs 5-9 are all good songs, though not outstanding by Harrison's standards "Marwa Blues" is a quiet instrumental The charming "Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" featuring George on ukulele and Jools Holland om piano is the next highlight.
"Rocking Chair in Hawaii" is blues-song and a little atypical for George, but a fine track too.
The finale and title track is by far the most complex track. George's inspiration from Indian culture and music shines through here; lyrically George comments on how everybody claims to have all the answers, and how it's often hard to think for yourself about what really matters in life.
This clearly one of Harrison's best albums; maybe only second to "All Things Must Pass".

Álbum extraordinario, como reconoció la mayor parte de la crítica. El problema es que la única comparación que se utilizaba era All Things Must Pass. ¿Dónde quedan Living In The Material World, George Harrison, Cloud Nine...?

George's last release was a beaut! Rating (80.00)
Second only to All Things Must Past, all songs are lovely from the great opening Any Road to the beautiful end Brainwashed(fantastic finish to an amazing career).
This album is really good. Just as good, if not better, than Cloud Nine. Stuck inside a Cloud is one of my favorite songs ever. Any Road is also a great and fun song. HIGHLY UNDERRATED
An excellent finish to George Harrison's wonderful musical career.
