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 83.4/100, a mean average of 82.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.4.

One of the craziest and most influential records ever made. At its wildest, the music, particularly "Aumgn" and "Peking O", sounds like the soundtrack to a surreal nightmare or a David Lynch film that hasn't been made yet.
The madness enclosed within makes for a remarkably challenging listen for the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, or even an infinite number of times: For someone without critical listening experience, it's an impossible record to recommend. Even "Halleluwah", probably the most "traditional" music on the album, is so lengthy and intentionally repetitious that even the most hardened "I'll listen to anything once!" person might turn up their noses in disgust.
Simultaneously pretentious, wonderful, haunting, beautiful, awful, and any other superlative you can throw at it, Tago Mago encapsulates and engulfs all attempt at description. It simply must be heard; it is a masterful accomplishment and also everything else.
This is a strong record with great performances across the group but the length of some of the songs and the length of the album as a whole can make it a challenging listen. If you give the music some patience you will be rewarded with it taking 3 or 4 listens for me to really get into this album. Once it clicked it sounds like a brilliant psychedelic experience that is brimming with experimentation. This is one of the most experimental records ever made and that alone makes it an interesting and engaging listen. The experimentation can descend into chaos at times such as in the middle of Peking O but for me that only adds to the character and appeal of the sound. The performances across the board are fantastic and they showcase the musical genius of the band perfectly. Overall, this record will not be to everyone's taste but for me it is extremely enjoyable and is packed full of quality and experimentation that you can get properly stuck into.
Eh. Not my taste
Very nice grooves and rhytms but some totally unnecesary noise too.
Overall weird listen, some strange noises here and there, very experimental. Not my kind of music but I gotta aplreciate that Halleluhwah is pretty good.
Muy psicodélico. Suena bien pero se me hace un poco pesado. Demasiado experimental para mi.

A viagem que esse álbum proporciona é fantástica... Seus ecos reverberam em dezenas de álbuns posteriores.

A sonic journey. Krautrock's peak. What a dumb name for a genre.
