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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.4/100, a mean average of 74.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.9.

The Daniel Lanois influence inks through this album; much like it did on Dylan's contemporaneous 'Oh Mercy' album, also produced by Lanois. Both album have Willie Green on drums. I've included the cover of Dylan's 'With God On Our Side' on my top 100 Dylan covers chart. Apart from all that, I really like this album on its own terms.

Atmospheric production by Daniel Lanois adds to the spiritual ambiance of this stellar Neville Brothers album.

Average album. Best 10 songs average is 71,0/100 and the album can get average 70/100. Ok I'm not very fan of this kind of music anyway. Listened through until song 9 only. Best song is "Yellow moon" average 75/100.
Genre: New Orleans R&B, Soul, Funk

Yellow Moon is a good, listenable record. "With God On Our Side" makes it worth having alone, but there are good songs, vocals and playing throughout. About as good as The Neville's get.
