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 72.5/100, a mean average of 68.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.1.

What's with the cover? It's so boring. One of the things Captain Beefheart was known for was his abrupt retirement from music to become a painter. Why not use one of his paintings as the cover? Every single other Beefheart album has an extremely intriguing cover, even if the music wasn't quite as intriguing.
