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 70.4/100, a mean average of 68.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.6.

Good sound, they play well and while I don't like the vocals I can appreciate what they are doing a little. It's not about what I dislike from this album that brings it down, its what I find missing in its vibe.

On any given day this album is my absolute favorite. The Blasters is, in a word, rock n' roll (ok, that's three). Excepting Elvis, Little Richard and Jerry Lee...this is the truest form of the art form. Dave Alvin can flat write a great song, and Phil is THE VOICE. Dude can belt. And Marie Marie might be one of the great swing tunes ever. A MUST!
