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 73.5/100, a mean average of 74.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.9.

"Animalisms" was the Animals' third UK album. Compared to its predecessor "Animal Tracks" there are been several changes to notice. Keyboard man Alan Price has been replaced by competent Dave Rowberry, producer Mickie Most replaced by Tom Wilson and the group had changed record label from Columbia to Decca. Soundwise the group has got a tighter sound which gives the album a generally more modern expression; probably mainly Tom Wilson's profits.
The songs are mainly covers of American R & B things, but there also a small batch of originals. Among these the fine melodic ballad "You're on my Mind", which group actually did not feel was a real Animals song - it was too nice!
Also "She'll Return it" - a traditional blues inspired song written by Eric Burdon and Dave Rowberry. The curious "Clapping", mostly clapping sound is credited to Dave Rowberry.
The album contains no single hits, but is a solid blend of traditional blues inspired music with a strong Eric Burdon in front and more modern beat-sounds with distorted guitars.
Among the bonus tracks there are in turn both hits and more well-known Animals songs. "Don't Bring Me Down" is one of the coolest tracks the Animals recorded, "Inside Looking Out" is Animals as we originally knew them - somewhatsimilar to "I's My Life". "Help Me Girl" is a fine popballad. "See See Rider" is given new energy and new life by the Animals.
Four recordings originally released on Decca EP are also to be found among the bonus tracks.
A fine release that with the many strong bonus tracks (not listed here) is lifted up to a classic status.
