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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.8/100, a mean average of 79.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.5.

A very strong, raw blues album. Nothing new, but very well played. 9/10! (Edited)

Blues has got me and has cut very deep cuts to my soul and mind. (Edited)
Probably the greatest blues studio album ever. Needs more recognition in BEA.
Great blues album! Great album, period.
Do you like blues harmonica? Guitar? This has the great Junior Wells on harmonica and vocals, and the great Buddy Guitar on guitar. Check out the harmonica on "We're Ready", which was heavily sampled by Arrested Development on "Mama's Always on Stage". (Edited)
