Rating metrics: Help 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 69.9/100, a mean average of 67.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.4.

The humor is weak on some and on others the musical execution is underwhelming and at times off the mark. Individually the songs are alright, but all together this album drags. There are shining moments in the second half where he pokes fun at relatable situations, and his edge is not completely dulled - we still get an uncompromising mockery of the CIA's villainous record.

The only one real standout track here is "Craigslist" in which he beautifully encapsulates the energy of The Doors, "Skipper Dan" tries to sound like Weezer but misses, however it's still a good song. The best parody on the album is the T.I. parody "Whatever You Like"
