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 78.5/100, a mean average of 77.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

Another solid blues garage rock album by The Black Keys that shows them getting more comfortable in what would be their 2nd of four albums with Danger Mouse. However the 55 minute length holds it back from being a truly great album and it starts to drag in the last third.

Album of the year, 2010 (TIE) with In Rainbows

Solid 80 points worth of roots related music.
It's not bad, but the White Stripes comparison is obvious and doesn't do them any favors.

I was not ready for that last song to be so good!

Almost all songs are good, but nothing excellent here, decent album
There are some really good songs here, but overall this doesn't sound like anything worth listening from start to finish.
I agree with the consensus here... a bunch of good songs well made, but none of them are particularly great. The whole listen is a bit derivative.
