Rating metrics: Help 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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.8/100, a mean average of 74.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.4.

One of the few punk records of the time which actually appeals to me, even if a bit juvenile.

Legendary. I guess you get it or you don't, but this is a landmark punk album.

Rapid fire pace short songs that seems to have a big influence on later ska punk and pop punk acts. While it's only less than 25 minutes it's a nice collection that has excitement in the music.
