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 72.5/100, a mean average of 72.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.8.

Surprisingly worthwhile comeback album that shows the group reclaiming some of its Texas blues roots.

Very solid album
Solid album overall, good average ZZ Top album and its already a pleasure that they even did this album. I Gosta Get Paid and Chartreuse are the more outstanding songs in my opinion, the rest is solid ZZ-Top blues rock.
