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 66.6/100, a mean average of 65.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

“A few that spring to mind: Yeah they didn't have the greatest extent of output but compared to the debut and their other singles this was a disappointment. Most Zep fans will understand this. Really not great. The Who trying something they just aren't. For others they may have released other albums…”

“A gift for Zed heads. Great to hear them so loose and even sloppy on some of the tracks. Even the failures are interesting. Plus, it's just a blast hearing them have fun again after their rather staid latter albums.”

Most of these are tracks from the In Through the Out Door sessions. The songs didn’t make the final cut on a less-than-great album for a reason. Zeppelin had very few unreleased gems throughout their career. One exception is “We're Gonna Groove,” a great bluesy rocker from the glory years. Most of the rest is listenable; that’s it.

A rip off mop up album. Coda, would never have been an 'official' album, and why is was ever released at all is a mystery(oh, i've got it, money), it's a useless record. Ok, poor Tom, is pretty good, and, wearing and tearing, is okay, but the rest really is scraping the barrel. I wonder why this is the only Led Zeppelin album I never listen to? .

This was released after Bonham's death and it's just pre-recorded songs that didn't make the cut on previous albums.. and rightfully so! Nothing here that did anything for Zeppelin's legacy. Wearing and Tearing is interesting though since it has Zeppelin doing some of their fastest and heaviest work. Almost punk in style.

It is not a bad album,considering that the tracks are leftovers from previous albums.WE,RE GONNA GROOVE is a brilliant rock song,a great live version of I CAN,T QUIT YOU BABY. I love POOR TOM and OZONE BABY and it a pity that Bonzo never played BONZO,S MONTREUX on stage.

Definitely not on par with pretty much any of their albums, but it still shows how incredible they are that some of these songs weren't cd worthy. Ozone Baby and Darlene are great.
