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 73.5/100, a mean average of 72.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

Showcases the best of Zappa's guitar work in my opinion. The style is fairly full on so I need to be in the right mood to listen to this. To be honest, Zappa was best when he was 'shut up'. So many of his works are spoilt with unnecessary drivel...

Shut up your guitar and sing once more!
