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 71.5/100, a mean average of 71.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 23.7.

One of the most unique musical experiences I can think of
:D
There really is only one word to describe this album. Pain. This album truly is a look through the eyes of drug addled genius. Some of the guitars on this thing are truly extraordinary. To hear Frusciante scream and cry his way through this album is truly something that should be experienced by everyone.

Warning: not for the delicate ear who has a refined taste. John is my favorite guitarist and really shows some of his finest songs such as Enter A Uh, Femininity, and my absolute favorite song of all time Height Down
