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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.1/100, a mean average of 76.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.0.

A continuation of the work done on previous album Brothers with hits ready for the radio but with an emphasis on having cleaner and friendlier production compared to earlier Lo-Fi efforts.

11 catchy rock tunes. Can't go wrong. Consistently brilliant. My favourites are Stop Stop, Gold on the Ceiling and Run Right Back

Interesting one this. The songs are good and consistent right through. However, I can't put my finger on it but there's something lacking. I've listened to this many, many times trying to find what I must be missing. For me there's no popping WOW factor. Decent album but average. A good average though.

"Rock is dead"....when somebody tells me this sentence, my answer is "listen El Camino".
Who says you can't listent to really good Rock & Roll music in 21st century?

A real (good) mixed bag. Since most of the songs have a similar sound/structure, subjectivity comes into play a lot more than usual.

It's a fun album, but some songs are more memorable than others

"El camino" mi è piaciuto più degli altri dischi dei Black Keys che conosco per una questione di piccoli dettagli, come una vittoria al fotofinish. Qualche canzone un po' più bella della loro media ( "Sister" ad esempio ), l'esuberanza sempre velata di malinconia un po' più marcata; non trovo siano niente di speciale ma almeno apprezzabili, quello si.
