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 70.4/100, a mean average of 68.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.8.

This album always impresses me. I don't think anyone in 1953 was writing and performing satire songs about the dirty south, drug dealers, cannibalism, and love beyond death.

This album is true delight for anyone looking for music that is left-of-center and witty and dry.

If this isn't influential I'd be very surprised.

RECOMMENDED

Tracks: Old Dope Peddler, I Wanna Go Back to Dixie, My Home Town, I Hold Your Hand in Mine
