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 67.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.2.

Behind the Sun is okay and you can definitely see signs that they are a talented band based on this album, but let's be honest it's not a good album is it? (Edited)

The original incarnation. Tremendously influenced by George Clinton.

It's always good to listen to the band with some their original members in the line-up, but they didn't really put out the best material with those guys. Still a good album, just not my favorite Chili Peppers album.

Still limited as a 'bunch of guys who like to party' band. The lyrics are growing, but still limited. However, the sound is good. This is the Peppers at their most loose.

This is the first great Chili Pepper album for me. It has all the pieces that made them very popular later on. Fight Like A Brave and Me and My Friends show their unique sound. Behind the Sun shows they can change pace.
