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 is rated in the top 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.4/100, a mean average of 77.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

I'm not a fanatical Frank Zappa fan but had liked a bit of what I'd heard. And there's to vast a choice of albums to just take a random punt. Hence why I got this to get as much in an album without filler. Happy with this. Good starting point

I know that it seems kinda sacrilege to go for a Zappa compilation, but there's so many albums, this is a good place to start.
