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 65.2/100, a mean average of 62.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 62.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.7.

A concept album placed firmly on the weirder side of the equation. I can appreciate what’s going on here, the musicianship etc. but it feels so scattergun on occasions that I can’t get into the flow of the album. Groundbreaking certainly. Do I play it that often? Not really.

It's a shame Vanilla Fudge is a pretty much forgotten group. Psychedelic finesse played by some great musicians. If you like this genre and haven't checked this out, Do. You won't be disappointed.
