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 73.4/100, a mean average of 73.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

More polished and jazz-influenced, compared to their debut. Standout tracks: "What's Going On", "It's Happened Before, It'll Happen Again", and "On the Boards".

The great Rory Gallagher leads an excellent trio with not many overdubs, a nice clean, straightforward sound. There's some, but not that much, of the romping blues rock you think of with Gallagher, but a lot of it is pretty introspective and heartfelt, which he can pull off. Also, you get to hear Rory Gallagher play saxophone.
