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 63.3/100, a mean average of 62.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 62.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

Surfer Girl was a leap forward and this is a stumble backward

It says something for the lack of respect for the full length LP as an art form in 1963 that The Beach Boys (or Capitol Records) could get away with such a tacky concept – recycling four songs from previous albums and quickly recording eight new ones to create a hastily constructed car-themed album.

The beach boys car album. It's extremely throwaway but fun. It's corny as hell, but there are good moments. Spirit of America, is lovely, the title track is great,but, be true to your school, is so square, can you imagine the Rolling Stones singing it, no chance. So-so.
