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 72.1/100, a mean average of 70.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.1.

The Germs perfected the simplicity of hardcore punk though they dont have the agression of band like Black Flag and Minor Threat. One of those records I enjoy allot but I would not easily recommend to someone else at all, because there is not much in terms of musicality at play here (except some guitar work on Richie Dagger and Manimal and the bass is really catchy) and the vocals are purposely terrible, but man this is addictive as fuck.

I have a wide taste for music, but punk or the music related to punk has always remained a mystery to me. It does not get to my soul or grip me at all.
The praise is sometimes incomprehensible. This music leaves me untouched. Do not actively hate it, but to me, it remains as a side note in my musical encyclopedia. I like many punk songs, but a whole album of this is too much for me

Amazing, one of the first Punk bands in the U.S if not thee first. Great LA classic
and the band has a great story going.
