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 71.0/100, a mean average of 68.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

To me this was one of my first introductions into music- I adored Megatop Phoenix and this album.
A great collection of timeless catchy songs.

Nostalgia plays a big role on why I dig this album so much... but also because I think it's more interesting/dynamic an album than most, even if it suffers a tad of something.
