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 72.2/100, a mean average of 70.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.2.

I really was not expecting to enjoy this album this much. Country isn't my normal cup of tea, but recently I've been trying to dig into the genre since I'm taking a weekend trip to Nashville with friends. I decided to listen to this record after hearing his S/T and wow, the experience does show really well. A perfect example of a man making music for the love of music, not for the money or the fame. It's in his blood.
