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 64.7/100, a mean average of 57.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 57.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.3.

The rating for 'God' was genuine though, by the way.

I genuinely pissed myself throughout some of these songs, hence the high ratings.

On the surface, it's somewhat amazing that an anti-establishment folk singer from 1970 can sound so much like the Ramones ('Lower East Side') and the Clash ('Hey Mr. Draft board'). But then, they all smoked tremendous amounts of pot, so perhaps some similarity is to be expected. If you want vociferous anti-cop, anti-vietnam, pro-harm principle libertarianism, and pro-legalization sentiment, you've come to the right place. Unfortunately, the music is awfully repetitive (especially 'Oink Oink'). Peel's manic vocal inflections are pretty fun to begin with, but even they get a little tired as they reappear again and again throughout the album. Also, too much cowbell.
