Rating metrics: Help 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 66.2/100, a mean average of 64.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.0.

This album has been the discovered gem for me. Can't believe it down at 42 in Dylans work but what it lacks in standout tracks it really makes up for in listenability (if thats a word). Excellent guitar work, cohesive tracks and love that Dylan voice tone. Honestly in my top ten of his albums and one I often listen too. Fav tracks: Blood in my eyes, Stack A Lee, World Gone Wrong.

The companion album to, good as I've been to you. Whereas that record was predominately folk, this is one is mostly blues. Being another acoustic release, it sounds exactly like it's predecessor. Standout tracks are, blood in my eyes, Delia, and the title track. This album isn't quite so accessible as the last record, but it's still just as overlooked.
