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 50.9/100, a mean average of 46.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 46.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.3.

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.

Title track and Goin On are bangers, the rest is disposable
Great album cover, not so great songs.

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!
