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 71.9/100, a mean average of 71.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.1.

Highlights:

- My Ass Is On Fire
- The Girls of Porn
Heard 'Pink Cigarette' and loved it. Was at our record exchange and found this. Didn't have 'Pink Cigarette' on it but was Mr Bungle so being a Mike Patton fan, thought it would still be a worthy buy. Sadly it done nothing for me. Listened to it multiple times, tried my best to connect and like it. But to no avail. To avant-garde, jazzy, free range for my liking
I was a FNM fan and heard about Mike's 'other band'. Bizarre, sublime and ridiculous. I must of listed to is a 1000 times.

Did you know that Stephen King’s IT was filmed at the same location as PeeWee’s Playhouse, at the exact same time. It got ugly.

An intoxicated circus of sound uncontrollably spiralling through an endless kaleidoscopic vortex of madness.

Great avant-garde metal, but would be much better if they removed some of the pointless samples (such as the endings of Egg and The Girls of Porn) and replaced them with the deleted tracks.
Also, not a big fan of Love is a Fist.

Mr. Bungle's debut sounds like a demented carnival. Combining diverse sounds under the guidance of John Zorn it's a wildly eclectic album with hints of King Crimson's early work.
