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 67.1/100, a mean average of 66.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

A tongue in cheek album with some nice renditions of Dylan and Beatles. A fun album. I bet the Dylan song has not been played much in radio

It’s a very unique, fun, and loose album. Had it been done with original material, it would have been truly revolutionary.

Un disco excelente en mi opinión que si bien se conforma de covers, en el concepto y ejecución me parece increible.

2, 6, and 8 are the only ones that were weak.

I know this really isn't a Beach Boys album in the sense that it is mostly covers... but I love the idea. Hey, let's have a music party, invite a bunch of people, and make a record of it... genius idea, imo. I guess the only song that was theirs AND captured this idea really well is Barbara Ann... gave me a new reason to give that song more weight.
