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 12% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.4/100, a mean average of 74.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.5.

Least collectable because almost every household in the US had a copy. The cover is admittedly provocative but the record itself is good clean fun. Mr. Alpert was a brilliant pop arranger and not a bad trumpet player. I love playing this disc in the car on a nice summer day, it just seems to fit.

Best track: Taste of Honey
Worst tracks: Lemon Tree, Whipped Cream, Garbanzo, Lady Fingers

I find this a fairly decent release, but for me, it lacks the kind of energy or inspiration needed to hold my attention through the whole album. Generally, the tracks are pretty lackluster and mundane.

Lambasted by Simon Reynolds in his retromania book as the least collectable record of all time. Not sure about that. For a start the musicians on it bar Alpert are the Wrrcking Crew by all accounts. Certainly sounds like Kaye on bass. Quick look around the net and it has generally favourable ratings. Nice bit of lounge cheese wont do you any harm. Will pick up a copy next time I see one in the charity shop.

Three - four first songs are pretty good, the rest sre very forgettable. A very cute album for adult coctail parties, I reckon..?
