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 67.9/100, a mean average of 64.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

“This is probably the best single-artist surf rock record I've ever heard. They have serious chops. But while I used to be a big fan of instrumental surf, it's grown off me a bit in recent years. 3.5/5 This album is so languid, probably too much so. It is played very well and would be good for…”

A ton of fun, I'd say, but maybe I'm easily entertained. There were a lot of "outer space" themed pop and exotica records in this era; this is one of the ones I think stands up best. This was my first listening, I might change my mind we'll see, but right now I'm like, "More of this, early '60s."

Not very good, even guitar sounds were poorly recorded.. Forgettable by 1964 and so out of fashion.
