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 71.6/100, a mean average of 70.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.1.

In the late '60s and early '70s Elvis was quite inspired and in the best voice of his life. This album brings some of his best recordings: "Mary In The Morning", "I´ve Lost You", "Twenty Days And Twenty Nights", "Stranger In The Crowd", "Bridge Over Troubled Water", etc. The only problem is the lack of unity, mixing live and studio recordings, unfortunately, a common thing in the complicated and mishandled Elvis discography in the 70´s. Still, a great and historic album.
