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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.6/100, a mean average of 71.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.7.

This mixing style of putting the vocals and drums above everything else really strips away what little nuance Animal Collective were willing to inject into the huge slabs of busy noise that they got into with Centipede Hz and evidently continued for at least a year afterwards as a touring unit. The vocals also rarely get electronic effects thrown on, so they sound pretty out of place in some of the soundscapes that get made. This version of Honeycomb is exemplary and might be the best version I've heard, being as it is one of the CHz-era compositions they strip down a bit here and re-think. My Girls is also treated fairly well here. Anyone who is a fan of Feels, Fall Be Kind, or Centipede Hz will find lots to love here, but those like me who count all three as in the lower half of the band's discography or worse don't get many bones thrown to them in terms of re-evaluations of material that doesn't stick in the studio versions.
