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 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.4/100, a mean average of 73.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.6.

Coxsone's production, Leroy Sibbles' voice, the harmonies - the best album to come out of Jamaica in the 1960s by some distance.

The Heptones was een van de topgroepen op het Jamaicaanse Studio One-label. De rocksteady van The Heptones, gecombineerd met hun fantistische harmoniezang is jaren na datum nog steeds even sprankelend als toen. Dit is hun tweede album en daarop gaat het vooral alweer over de liefde en de realiteit van het dagelijks leven. De meeste ritmes op dit album worden tegenwoordig nog steeds gebruikt wat van On Top een heel herkenbare reggaeplaat maakt. En als die ritmes uit de muzikanten van Studio One komen, dan weet je meteen ook dat het hier over onverslijtbare ritmes gaat. Voeg daar dan nog de zwoele zang bij en je krijgt een klassieker in de rocksteady.
