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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 74.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.7.

Reves: 9/10
Reves is easily the best instrumental album I have ever heard. Many of the tracks, such as 2 and 3, showcase just how incredible instrumentalists the band is. The drumming on 2 is powerful and crisp. The guitar playing on 3 is frantic, like a twisted version of the James Bond theme. There are also moments of beauty and tranquility. 8 is one of my favorite tracks, it is a beautiful representation of the dynamic between wind and water. MC and 5.1 are beautiful classical renditions of other songs on the album. 13 is the epic Radiohead-esque climax of the disk. The only issues I have with this disk are 10 (a boring overlong percussion assault on the senses) and 6.
YOSOY-9.5/10
I am part Hispanic/Latino, and this disk is the most connected I have ever felt with that side of my heritage. There is a beautiful environmental theme to the album. The lead vocalist describes beautiful rivers, fruit trees, and laments the pain we are causing the world. El Padre through El Espacio is one of the most amazing string of songs I have ever heard on an album. La Locomotora is an incredible initially cello driven song, that builds and builds with incredible guitar work until the orgasmic vocal climax of the song. El Rio/El Pollen together are one of the most beautiful depictions of nature I have ever experienced. The songs after this point are still great, but definately not as strong. Guerro always jumpscares me right after the tranquil El Espacio, but getting to the chorus of the song makes it worth it. Luckily, the calming Sin Titulo gives a much needed reprieve from the previous high energy track. However, this particular song is far to quiet. This album sounds fine on headphones, but on a speaker I always have to crank down Guerro, then crank up Sin Titulo. This is my one major complaint with the album, that the audio mixing could be better. The rest of the album (aside from Esperando, which is a very short and also quiet song), we are exposed to a more playful side of Cafe Tacuba. The first half of the album is very philosophical and meditative, but this side is fun and almost feels like a child experiencing the wonders of the world.
Overall I love this album. It is easily my favorite spanish language album, and these guys do Radiohead better than Radiohead can. Some people call this album the Mexican Kid A, but I would like to remind y'all this album was first, and leagues better.
Some sort of latin Tortoise.
Very creative fellas.
Café Tacvba tiene su disco icónico (el Ré) y tiene su mejor proyecto: Revés/Yo Soy. Sólo es necesario escuchar la cantidad de detalles y texturas incorporadas en "11", la canción que abre el tomo experimental del álbum. Por su parte, Yo soy que es el lado B de canciones del Ré muestra ya una exploración sonora más libre. Quedan en ambos las estructuras sonoras y líricas (en el caso de Yo soy) del folclore mexicano pero se encuentran trabajadas desde el sonido que comienza a dibujarse en Avalancha de Éxitos y que es el sello de los tacvbos.
Experimentalista/Tradicional. Grande álbum latino americano.
El "Kid A" del rock en español antes que "Kid A" se lanzara. Mientras que la parte instrumental mira hacia Tortoise y el post-rock (inédito en una banda latina), la cantada incluye canciones llenas de preguntas, filosóficas, metafóricas, en clave menor.
