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 71.0/100, a mean average of 70.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.9.

I think the solo career of Frank Black is underrated and this album is criminally underrated. Of course the Pixies were better and I agree with most of you that Kim Deal did a better job after the first break up of the Pixies. But this is a straight-up rock 'n roll record and there is none of the weirdness of the Pixies and the first solo albums but I must say Frank Black is doing really well on straight rock 'n roll here. The album has great hooks, great general guitar work and great songs. I Need Peace and Solid Gold are good examples of this but all but one tracks (Six-Sixty-Six is the only exception) just do the same fantastic trick does it well.
