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 73.2/100, a mean average of 73.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

I can't help but like this quirky album. It's a collection of traditional folk songs with a "freak" twist on it. The songs are structurally similar to the originals but the main difference are the updated lyrics that appear throughout. "Hesitation Blues" is an example of updated lyrics and it contains the first use of the term "psychedelic" in popular music which is important given the term's eventual connotations to music. The Holy Modal Rounders are among the few acts willing to push the boundaries of what could have been considered "obscene" at the time. "Mr. Spaceman" is the most ambitious song on the album, in my opinion.
