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 73.5/100, a mean average of 74.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.6.

"Nervous on the Road" is a solid down to earth album by Brinsley Schwarz. The album breaks down genre of roughly equal parts of rock, country, blues and pop. Without quite reaching the heights of its predecessor, "Silver Gun", it is a satisfactory album with several good songs, most of them written by Nick Lowe.

You won't find classics a la "Peace, Love and Understanding", but the title-track "Nervous on the Road" and "Surrender To The Rhythm" are straightforward rockers as the group play them best.

The ballad "Do not Lose your Breath On Love" is among Lowe's best Brinsley Schwarz ballads.

Ian Gomm wrote only one song for the album, the humorous Buddy Holly pastiche "It's Been So Long"
