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 66.0/100, a mean average of 65.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.7.

Oh dear Lou, love lots of your stuff, but this is well off the mark. The Power of Positive Drinking is the standout song for me; How Do You Speak to an Angel, Growing Up in Public and Think It Over all have some charm and are good. As for the rest....

This sounds like Lou was off his rocker on this album but this time not necessarily in a good way. This is not easy to get into but I chuckled at some of the lyrics and bravado.
