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 52.1/100, a mean average of 47.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 47.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.2.

This is a bad album and I hope I never listen to it again. I can’t believe I still have even worse Beach Boys albums to listen to still.

The Beach Boys step into the 80's, a decade that far more than the 70's didn't belong to them. Not a revolutionary collection of songs, but yet it's far better than its reputation. The Beach Boys are still keepin' the summer alive, even in the 80's!
