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 is rated in the top 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.3/100, a mean average of 74.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.2.

a classic, on par with In 3D. it's not as consistent, but the first 2 tracks are his best parody and original from the 80s

This should be near the top of the Weird Al rankings. Several genius parodies, and his originals are actually OK.

My first cassette tape :)
Still funny after all these years. "Girls Just Want To Have Lunch" & "Like A Surgeon" are fantastic parodies.
