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 73.3/100, a mean average of 73.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 8.8.

This album lacks power and banger songs, a very mediocre album with songs that are mostly forgotten. Not worth a revisit,
"Monster" by Steppenwolf from 1969 was their fourth in just two years. The previous three had all been a great successes - both commercially and artistically, and there were obviously high expectations for "Monster". The album was clearly the most political group released, especially obvious on the long title track, which in an edited version also released as a single.
Unfortunately, the group seemed musically to be running out of ideas, although the title track, however, shows some of the grandeur that characterized the previous albums.
The rest of the album is mediocre and somewhat repetitions of what the group had previously created.
Of course there are good elements, like the intro to "Power Play". This song was in fact a couple years old already when they chose to record it. "From Here to There Eventually" also has glimpses of the melodic that group was known for, but the number remains somehow unresolved.
The sound it is the "old" Steppenwolf, and in that respect the album does live up to expectations - unfortunately the songwriting does not.
