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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.8/100, a mean average of 72.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

Ramones 5th album was their infamous pairing with Phil Spector and has some of their most popular songs but it also has some odd misfires which at the time had not happened prior to.

Really good album. Not as good as any of their first four albums, and they never would match that quality again, but then again, those four albums were all awesome to amazing, so no knock on this album.

The Ramones are all polished up on this record by Phil Spector, and they sound great! Danny Says is one of my favorite Ramones tracks!

One would think this kind of slick, perfectionist production and The Ramones would be a terrible fit, but it's a surprisingly good combination. Spector really taps into the band's "pop" side without diluting them at all. Love this album !

listening to this, it is going round and round in my brain: imagine an album 50% phil spector, 50% ramones: it seems impossible to focus - but listening to end of the century is exactly what it is... funny.

I read that Ramones beat out Van Halen to star in "Rock N' Roll High School." Both bands always sound like 13-year old delinquents, but if you love the Ramones, there's a little bit of "haven't we heard this before?"

Very good album
