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 70.4/100, a mean average of 70.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.2.

Granted, much of this album is just the disposable rock of the day - hard rock posturing with psychedelic elements here and there. But there are quite a few songs here that deviate from that programme. 'Shoe Salesman' is charming, the melodrama of 'Laughing at Me' is actually pretty satisfying and 'Beautiful Flyaway' is a surprisingly punchy piano-driven number. Still, the ham-fisted vocals ('Return of the Spiders') and the meandering noodling ('Beyond your Means'), along with the hopeless faux-musique concrete of the last track drag the record down. And what could have possibly motivated the album designer to double up the band's upper asses like that?

Not quite as "out there" as Pretties For You (and hence not as interesting) but they do play with a wider variety of styles of here. Below Your Means is a pretty wild psychedelic number, Beautiful Flyaway is a light hearted, catchy sing along tune, Refrigerator Heaven foreshadows the band's later hard rock direction, and Shoe Salesman has a hint of vaudeville to it.
