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 72.2/100, a mean average of 72.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.9.

“Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good album, and I’ve been looking forward a decent copy for years. Finally found one, and I’m not disappointed but I am a little underwhelmed. It’s good, but not great. Only my 2nd listen so might grow on me but, at the moment, not really lovin’ it Agree with you on this…”

Great sounding and well crafted album from one of the most talented and inventive of the west coast psychedelic rock bands. It's a bit scattered and some songs clearly have more thought put into them than others but it's still very enjoyable. "He" is fantastic. It's a shame that their stuff is so hard to listen to now.
