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 71.1/100, a mean average of 70.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.7.

I agree with you coconut. It starts out fine . The first five or so tracks are in the classic B52s mode but then it begins to all sound the same. Fred Schneider is hilarious at times but he also can't sing and after awhile that drags the album down.
As the title says this is a fun album. Spotty but the good tracks are classic 52's. I feel they should have spent more time on the song writing and relied less on the production.
