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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.3/100, a mean average of 79.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.7.

I love Serge, but I'm surprised this is his second most acclaimed album. While it contains a few of his greatest songs, it's also loaded with silly, goofy throwaway songs that sound very dated compared to what's on his other albums from the era. But if you're looking for the kind of music that Austin Powers would have gotten shaggadelic to, then you'll probably enjoy this more than me.
Good Album

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
