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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.8/100, a mean average of 74.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.5.

This may not rank among their best albums, but it's got some really solid tracks on it. It's great for summer, when you can roll down the windows and crank it. Les Pauls and harmonies!
Social Distortion never let you down. This album is at the same level of their best works, even if it needs a great song like Story of My Life. (Edited)
