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 is rated in the top 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 73.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.2.

a classic, on par with In 3D. it's not as consistent, but the first 2 tracks are his best parody and original from the 80s
My first cassette tape :)
Still funny after all these years. "Girls Just Want To Have Lunch" & "Like A Surgeon" are fantastic parodies.

This should be near the top of the Weird Al rankings. Several genius parodies, and his originals are actually OK.
