Rating metrics: Help 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 69.6/100, a mean average of 66.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.0.

Their best album. Good range of styles but still predominantly hard rock/metal. Some really great tracks. What makes this their best is that it's all music. Not an album broken up by vocal parody like others. For an album not to be taken seriously, it fucking rocks

This is supposed to be a comedy album/soundtrack, why is it so rocking? Kickapoo, Master Exploder, Beelzeboss, The Metal... and if i'm being honest, the second half of Papagenu isn't bad either.

Fun for a soundtrack but nothing spectacular here. More funny than anything else. That being said, Kickapoo, Master Exploder, and The Metal are actually pretty sick tunes.
