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 73.0/100, a mean average of 73.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

The independent record store where I worked during college was the place where I first heard a tremendous amount of great music. I wouldn't say we listened to a lot of ska revival, but the owner of the store was a huge fan of most any slap bass-driven alternative rock: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Primus, even the Spin Doctors. Not all that stuff has aged well. But for me, Fishbone still sounds as fresh and innovative as they did then. I love how easily they move between the rapid-fire ska freakouts of, say, "Subliminal Fascism" to the acoustic ballad "Change." This is a skillful, deeply soulful album, with nods to every genre from sixties soul to seventies punk to eighties reggae. Seeing Fishbone live a decade later made me appreciate them that much more, as they managed to get a roomful of white people in Asheville, North Carolina, to dance like it was the last night of their lives.
