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 66.3/100, a mean average of 64.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 64.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.3.

While it's not my thing, it's incredibly consistent in quality throughout with impressive variety -from the heart-tugging Highway 20 Ride to the bar-storming, fiddle-flying romp It's Not Ok to the Key Largo calling-all-parrotheads Toes. I'd have a blast seeing this band live in the right setting. Probably the funnest album in the 1500+ tourney!
Haha! My two kids r going to LOVE Sic 'Em on a Chicken. I can see them hootenanny-ing it up already.
If I had to rank this soley on whether it achieves what it aims to achieve: 9/10
Not only a sentimental favorite, but everything here is so cohesive.
