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 72.4/100, a mean average of 70.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.1.

Never in a million years would I guess that this band would release one of the most well known novelty songs of all time.

One of the greatest synth-rok albums ever, recorded on an eight track cassette player back in 1980. Boris Blank and Deiter Meier were joined by Carlos Peron with his tape effects for this debut and their second LP to terrific effect. Always challenging, ever-changing, schizophrenic progressive rock with humor and verve. The second album Claro Que Si is equally warm and inventive.
