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 70.6/100, a mean average of 68.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.9.

If I had to state any positives I have with this album, "Brian Wilson" is very close to being a pretty good song. It starts off decently with just some acoustic guitar and it's pleasant and surprising that it's not immediately terrible. Then they had to ruin it by having like 10 instruments blare at once with bongos and just kill the mood of the song. "If I Had a Million Dollars" is bearable, but I still don't think it's that great. The whole album feels like terrible bar music, and it's not bad because it sounds like bar music, it's just bad cause' they're trying to be goofy, but it just comes across as immature and annoying. The instrumentation is alright, but generic, the singing is annoying from everybody, and the lyrics on all the songs, and I mean all of them, are for the most part, down right awful. I think the album cover perfectly describes this album honestly, and it's so bad, I made all of the band members on this album cover discord emojis on my sever, so at least there's that.
At first it seems obnoxious, but after many listens you might enjoy the creative songs from Steven Page and the rest of the ladies. Highlights are "If I Had $1000000," "Brian Wilson, and "What a Good Boy."

Never as smart, charming, or ...talented as They Might Be Giants but they managed to turn this album into a career blueprint. Good for them.

Harmless fun. Nothing deep or profound, but loads of memorable, catchy hooks and lyrics.
"If I Had A Million Dollars" is the only quality track.
