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 70.4/100, a mean average of 70.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.0.

Pretty much a mess, with occasional glimmers of better. Would never have guessed had I heard it new that I would be listening to this band as much as anyone for the next 50 years.

I own it for completeness, but listen to it as duty once in a long while.

Thought this was a California band based on the sound. It's more folky but it's pretty similar to me. It's not bad and I can tell that they're a talented band but it's a bit tame for me.

I really like this one. It has some great 60s pop tunes, some deep lyrics and some very psychedelic rock moments. End of the 60s at its best!
