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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.6/100, a mean average of 71.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

One of the best covers albums there is.
A great soundtrack to a good film. I think this was loosely based on Van Morrison and Them.

Some great versions of some fabulous tunes here. Andrew Strong puts his own stamp on songs like Mustang Sally and Try a Little Tenderness, and Maria Doyle shines as well. Both the album and the movie were instrumental in getting me into Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett and soul in general.
What a voice Andrew Strong has. Some great versions of classic songs on this.

Andrew Strong and company revived classic soul just as they did in the movie. A marvelous example of life imitating art, even if this album is not original art.
