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 is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.3/100, a mean average of 80.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.8.

A little less accessible than some of his works. It is a shame a lot (most) of his work is overshadowed by crudity, innuendo and utter tosh. No, I am not a prude, just a lover of really good music and thankfully there is some really good music on this album.

Very enjoyable. Volume one is easily the best. The other two become a bit of a drag, and the whole lot taken in one go is a real slog. Still, some wonderful moments here and there. All in all, Zappa never fails to amaze.

Act I is a classic and great fun. II & III have great music but are not in the same vein or mood to me.
