Rating metrics: Help 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 79.0/100, a mean average of 78.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.8.

Arguably Elvis Presley's finest album. After he said goodbye to Hollywood and with the success of his '68 comeback special, Presley was ready to take his music a bit more seriously. Presley's voice is grittier here, more ragged, and, yes, more passionate for probably the first time in years. There are some great songs here in, wearin'that loved on look, in the ghetto, and, long black limousine, which is my favourite track on the album. Presley clawed back a bit of respectability with this release. Great LP. (Edited)

One of the few albums I prefer the extended version of. Suspicious Minds, Don’t Cry Daddy, and Kentucky Rain are all great tracks added on. The baseline on Only The Strong Survive is just fire.

Straight from Elvis, my birth town of Memphis. (Edited)

Yeah, this is good. Feels like he's really starting to command his more present, more soulful voice here. (Edited)

Suspicious Minds should on this one as well. A near perfect album. (Edited)

An album created without the overstretched reaches of Parker. Allowed to pick the song and songwriters that Elvis wanted to work with - shout out to the RG who did a complete podcast on it's development. OUTSTANDING! (Edited)
