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 45.7/100, a mean average of 34.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 34.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 27.3.

Meh. It's goofy for sure, but I've definitely heard worse. Songs range from "not very good" to "forgettably mediocre". If you're looking for something so bad it's funny, this isn't it. If you're looking for great blues music, this isn't it, either. This is your uncle (or maybe you) singing karaoke.
cursed
Speaking of Bruce Willis as a singer and an actor here's The Return of Bruno to promote his debut album of the same name...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Return_of_Bruno
The Return of Bruno is a 1987 comedic film, originally aired as a one-hour special on HBO and later released on VHS. It is a mockumentary starring Bruce Willis as his fictitious alter ego "Bruno Radolini", a legendary blues singer/musician who influenced, as the story goes, a number of famous musicians. Elton John, Phil Collins, Brian Wilson, Grace Slick, Joan Baez, Jon Bon Jovi, Paul Stanley, The Bee Gees, Graham Nash, Stephen Stills, and Ringo Starr appear in the film as themselves, paying tribute to Radolini. It also features legendary photographer Henry Diltz and actor Michael J. Fox. Narrated by Dick Clark.
Written by: Paul Flattery, Bruce V. DiMattia, and Kenny Solms. Produced by Paul Flattery and directed by Jim Yukich.
All the songs come from Willis' musical album The Return of Bruno except "No One's Home" by Bruce V. DiMattia and Peter Gunn by Henry Mancini.
The film was nominated for a 1988 ACE award (Award for Cable Excellence) (now known as CableACE Awards) in the category "Writing a Musical Special or Series".
I remember watching this when it premiered on HBO back then, it's really good... 8-)
