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 63.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.7.

It's pretty good. The first Primus album I've listened to, and it did not disappoint.
It's interesting. Might take a couple more listens to really understand the album. But, i'm just happy to hear another Primus studio album with Tim Alexander back on the kit!!
