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 71.9/100, a mean average of 71.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.6.

Easily their most accessible and mainstream record (for whatever that's worth). A lot of good, straight up punk songs on here, as opposed to the more experimental, psychedelic material they are known for.

Definitely my favorite Butthole Surfers album. Solo on Dust Devil is awesome. I also love Who Was in My Room Last Night?, The Wooden Song, Strawberry, Dog Inside Your Body, Goofy's Concern, Some Dispute Over T-Shirt Sales, and Dancing Fool. Wish it was a little higher ranked.
