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 71.0/100, a mean average of 70.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.0.

Vivian Stanshall's Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band were one of the most comical UK bands of the late 1960s and this was undoubtedly their best LP release. Its satirical side undoubtedly served, to some, as a welcome release for those tiring of the inundation of so much psychedelia and other less meritable music. (Edited)

One of the most funny album ever heard in my life: Zappa style, but easier to reach. An excellent melting pot of sounds.

Good for a laugh and context.
Very funny, very good and a preview of great things to come from the band. Death Cab For Cutie take their name from a track on this album.
My personal favorite of the Bonzo Dog Band albums. Probably because it was the first one I ever heard. I remember just sitting there stunned and then rolling around laughing.
