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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.7/100, a mean average of 76.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

One of the best Mothers of Invention albums. The group's chemistry is tight and vital. It's got its bizarre moments (as does every Zappa release), but these moments do not take away from or outweigh the more musically sound points.
How 'We're Only In It For the Money' can be several albums in front of this is beyond me. Yes, this is a bit odd in parts but the musicianship is on the money. Memorable cover art is a bonus to an altogether absorbing album. My wife hates it and threatens to throw it out after me when I put it on!
Nice cover art
The second half of this thing is Zappa gold
Awful. I love Zappa, but he has made some terrible records. Not as bad as, lumpy gravy, but not much better either. It's torture to be honest.
