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 66.4/100, a mean average of 64.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

As the real followup to Surfer Girl, Shut Down Volume 2 is a wildly uneven effort; a handful of songs are stronger and more intricately arranged than anything The Beach Boys had produced up to this point, but there’s little of note beyond those three or four classics.
There may be a couple filler tracks but even if those were removed you would still have a full album of awesome songs. Don't Worry Baby is the pinnacle of the album's creative heights
This is a slighty disappointing beach boys album. It's so short of material that it features a pathetic bit of studio banter between Brian Wilson and Mike Love, and a completely pointless drum solo from Dennis. But let's not get too down, this record also features the brilliant, fun,fun,fun, don't worry baby,keep an eye on summer and the absolutely gorgeous, warmth of the sun. So, about a third of this album is great, the rest, a combination of ok, awful, and pointless. So-so.
