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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.1/100, a mean average of 84.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 6.2.

A Classic two in one re-issue of The Allman Brothers Band's first two albums, Polygram Records had the foresight in 1973 to put these albums out again packaged together. The Iconic sounds of Duane's slide guitar dominate the proceedings here and are epic to have in an unbroken 14 songs. You'll definitely get your Southern Blues Rock fix with this!
