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 72.1/100, a mean average of 70.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.8.

One of my favorite artists and some good rock 'n' roll. He has this ability to rock one moment and the next belt out sensitive ballads. A superb album to listen too, although in my favorite studio album collection is Stranger In Town. (Edited)
No particular brief against Seger; don't change the station when he comes on or anything-- but have never looked through the bins seeking his albums, really. But I did decide that "Horizontal Bop" is a keeper...
Her Strut & You'll Accompany Me are 2 of Seger's best songs. After that, the record is kinda so-so. But maybe I'm biased because I thought the 2 previous records he made were much stronger.
