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 is rated in the top 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.8/100, a mean average of 78.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.0.

One of around half a dozen essential LPs from the Wackies label, and along with Wayne Jarrett's Bubble Up, Junior Delahaye's Showcase and John Clarke's Visions prime examples of the heavy roots style that became Bushwackie's production trademark. Thick, dense and immense - the version of Money Money here is huge. In spite of classics like Skylarking and In The Light, this is Andy's finest album.

An unbelievably hip dance record, Dance Hall Style incorporates the best elements of reggae - reflections on religion, society and its vices, sociopolitical angst - into a mellow stew that you'll always want to have boiling. Andy's face on the cover says a lot of it. The music says the rest.
