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 72.3/100, a mean average of 71.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.7.

One of the best albums of the era and the best the genre has to offer. A more focused and consistent effort than their debut with even more risks, experimentation and psychedelia. Sky Saxon's vocals are fantastic and his writing is noticeably improved. The extended instrumentals are creative and entertaining. The music, along with that of The Monks, is the hardest that there had ever been at that point in time.
