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 67.8/100, a mean average of 66.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.8.

Their best album ?? A masterpiece ??
I might be the only other person beside Keith Floyd who liked this album publicly. The concept is stupid, but I give credit where credit is deserved and I actually enjoy the silliness of the concept. Plus it verges on comedy as does the movie series of the same name. Not take seriously an enjoyable record, taken seriously a failure.
