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 73.3/100, a mean average of 71.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.2.

Never There and some actual notable songs makes this Cake's best album.

The 3rd Cake album was not quite as delicious as the first two slices, but I could still go for several more helpings.
Lots of good songs, my favorites are "Satan is My Motor," "Never There," "Sheep Go To Heaven" and "Walk on By."
Not as good as 'Fashion nugget' but had a few solid tracks.
