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 68.2/100, a mean average of 65.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.6.

Robert Ellis first made waves with his "Lights from the Chemical Plant" record. In 2016, put out an incredible self-titled record. He's outdone himself again on Texas Piano Man.
This time he performs with a healthy dose of piano and witty lyrics and I didn't even know he was capable of either. One hears the influence of Ben Folds and Terry Allen, who is also a Texas native and the first person I think of when I hear the phrase "Texas Piano Man."
This record is as charming as the tuxedo on the front cover. It is sure to bring a smile to your face. Along with Amanda Shires, Robert Ellis is one of the best emerging Texas singer-songwriters around today.
Track Pick: F***ing Crazy
Three songs in and I had to stop. Just go and put on a Jackson Browne or Billy Joel record. They did it first. They did it better!
