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 73.3/100, a mean average of 73.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.8.

This is a spellbinding example of harmonics and melodies that are so good that they will be played as long as we love music. America is one of my favorite bands ever since a friend of mine loaned some of his brother's records, and America's Greatest Hits was one of them. Rest is history for me..

It's a good album with some really awesome tracks, but it does have some weaker ones. The first three songs are awesome.

I'm a sucker for harmonies and America knows how to do them well. On the first album I really only liked A Horse With No Name and I Need You but this album is nearly without any flaws, whether it is on slows or harder edged tracks. Of course the best harmonies are to be found on Ventura Highway, a gem of a song, but I nearly like every track here (maybe except for Head And Heart).
