Rating metrics: Help 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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.4/100, a mean average of 76.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.9.

This is a crazy album. King Buzzo&c. very inspired. Very strong production. Funny and loud.

First songs (and maybe 1 or 2 later) are pretty good but then it falls in a state like: we don't know really what to do, let's try this Beatles-oriented song, let's now try this weird rhythm with nothing over it, let's now try this baby voice, etc.. And the result is nothing too nice, in my opinion, since it really lacks of ideas.

Their most underrated album; very creative, often peculiar.
