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 72.5/100, a mean average of 71.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.0.

A very different animal than BB, very original and thicker sounding band. Tight and groovy, Very cool

this is one of that albums that makes you go "aha" really hard. This is what a lot of the early Beach Boys got their sound from, and it's suddenly clear where Spongebob got its font from.
Favorites: Surf Beat; Miserlou Twist.

Dick Dale is a great player, but this albums disappointing.
