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 70.4/100, a mean average of 69.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.9.

Two tracks on this, Call Any Vegetable and Dog Breath, are my favorite Zappa ever. I edited them into one track in my Zappa playlist, and it's the kind of thing I can listen and then take it back to the beginning and just listen again. The rest of this album you can have, but the eleven minutes of those two tracks are highlights in Zappa's and Flo and Eddie's careers.
