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 72.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

For me this is a disappointing "Best Of..." collection as it focuses too sharply on the tremendous Blues band's ambitions to make it as Pop stars and their later pop driven works like "Centerfold" and "Freeze-frame" and not enough on where this band honed their sound in blues driven rock and roll. Their earlier material was much stronger. Just my two cents.
