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 has a Bayesian average rating of 69.4/100, a mean average of 67.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.1.

“When I was 14, I was really, really into Silverchair, so I was beyond stoked for this album: It's a collaboration Daniel Johns did with DJ Paul Mac. The album is absolutely whack. Keep in mind, I first heard this as a young teenager who was listening to a lot of guitar-heavy albums (OK Computer,…”

Pitchfork summed this up pretty accurately when they said, "it sounds like Backstreet Boys covering Captain Beefheart in a bad way" - except not in a bad way at all. It's really quite fun. This album is mad scientist gone madder, and I'll be bald if it's not a great album. It's odd. No. It's absurd. But that's what makes this one of the most lovable, endearing albums of its time for me.
