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 73.0/100, a mean average of 73.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.8.

Shortlisted for album of the year at the 1995 Grammys. The winner was MTV Unplugged by Tony Bennett
It's better than I thought it would be. He can play when he cuts the crap.

A great, rockin' romp through some blues classics. Not only Clapton;s best studio album in 20 years, but also a great starting point for fans to familiarize themselves with blues.
