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 71.5/100, a mean average of 68.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

CONTEXT: Penn's 2nd album had no chance at commercial success; it was far too studious for rock radio. It contains the best and worst elements of Penn's craftsmanship.
MUSIC: Nothing on this album is as immediadely gripping as his best work, but the songs are filled with lots of subtle hooks and interesting sounds.
LYRICS: Penn comes up with some interesting phrase turns, but as a whole, the lyrics are impenetrable. Like Cobain's lyrics, there are plenty of unique images among seemingly random verses. Very "interesting", but not the stuff of great rock n roll.
HIGHLIGHTS: Long Way Down (Look What the Cat Drug In), Slipping My Mind
