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 68.6/100, a mean average of 65.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.5.

I found this album to be a rather interesting listening experience. I should have hated this album, but I didn't, and actually got into it to some degree. I'm not logging into Amazon to order a copy, but I was able to happily listen to the entire thing and wouldn't automatically dismiss it should it come before me again.

While much of the music sampled was originally, IMO, mind numbingly repetitious, the samples were mixed with some deftness into a collage of sound that was not as such. There was a groove and a rhythm to it, but it had more complexity than the originals, and morphed often enough, and in interesting enough ways, to allow for (my) listening without wanting to just chuck it, but rather simultaneously settling in to what was going on and looking forward to what was going to happen next.

I'm not going to declare it some kind of great musical triumph, but I do think it's pretty darn good at what it does.

If nothing else, read this thread about this album. Tap did a really good job giving this album context.
