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 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.4/100, a mean average of 72.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.8.

It's fun and enjoyable and all... but it's also sort of annoying, isn't it? Those buzzing voices or flutes or horns or what it is!
A great album to lighten up the mood. Most of the songs are silly but infectiously catchy, never dragging too much to be bothersome. It doesn't have a hit, a song I'd name fantastic, but it doesn't have any weak song either
Best songs: Old Familiar Way, Nickee Coco, Neat Little Domestic Life, Tulip Baroo
Pretty good album

It's just amazing. It flows from one track to the next, it has a concept yet is still really accesible and each track had a terrific character story.
