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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.9/100, a mean average of 77.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

This is my first listen to a John Prine record. I have always been curious because of the critics love for him. A little too country for me however I had nothing to compare it too. I may revisit this one in the future. Rating (67.92)

It may not feature his most famous songs, or his most emotionally charged, but I’d argue there is no better record to demonstrate who John Prine is as an artist. This blend of heart, humor, honesty and creativity could have come from no one else.

Just one great song after another. It is a shame more people don't know what a great lyricist and songwriter Prine is. He gets labeled more in the folk category but he actually is all over the map with some country and rock stuff among others.
