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 71.3/100, a mean average of 70.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.1.

Did not impress, a kinda half.baked combo of blue and black
Raw and ragged and kind of thin and flat; their first trip to the studio wasn't any better than anybody else's, and they were still figuring out whose guitar would be better where. But it is strangely compelling; like the very early U2 recordings, they aren't very good, but you can tell that will not be true for long.

An extremely solid debut from a great band

Somewhat sloppy release typical of the era characterized by the idiosyncratic vocals of Joplin and a very solid rhythm section. A few of the Joplin-led songs are really good. Poorly produced for the most part, though.
