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 71.8/100, a mean average of 71.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.5.

This was an odds and sods collection thrown into the boxed set Box when it came out consisting mostly of tracks left on the cutting board floor from Bee Thousand and some other discarded albums. But, this holds up as a classic in my opinion. Not sure I will hold this position forever, but currently I love it better than Alien Lanes or Under The Bushes, Under The Stars.
