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 72.7/100, a mean average of 72.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

A whole lot of Keith Relf playing harmonica. Historically significant, for sure; it's a hard rocking album for 1964. (Edited)
Good high energy show. The production level of about what you'd expect from a live album from '64. They seemed to be a bit under-rated. Deserves more credibility than they got. Young Eric's on this.
This is an average debut from a good blues and pop-rock Band. Not many great songs, and all of them are covers, but still a showcase of what Eric Clapton would become later on.

A good album that, although it has no weak tracks, sounds generally a bit dated today. Top moments are Too Much Monkey Business and Good Morning Little Schoolgirl.
I listened to this album to hear a young Eric Clapton play guitar and that's pretty much what it is.
