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 72.3/100, a mean average of 72.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

This was one of my first ever albums and the first by the Beach Boys, one of my all-time favourite bands. It is full of great tracks from the early 1960s and a must buy for any Sixties Surf Rock fan.

12 track budget priced collection - when you're a landmark artist like The Beach Boys 12 tracks is barely a taste of their music. Hardly an appetizer.
Endless Summer is a better compilation.
