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 62.1/100, a mean average of 56.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 56.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.6.

Deep Purple delivering an album with covers, mmmm. In 2021 couldn't they be a bit more creative, plenty to write about, lockdowns, isolation, world turmoil and they deliver this... There is no denying the music is excellent with a very Blues feel throughout but this particular Christmas present left me feeling a little disappointed really...
I was drawn to this album for no other reason than it had a cover of Dylan's 'Watching the River Flow'. It's a fairly standard interpretation of the song - but given the DP pedigree, I have included this version in my 'top 100 Dylan covers' chart.

Deep Purple doing pop rock covers. It isn't bad, nor is it necessary. Some are beefed up pretty well, in the Purple style. But some are bland as well. It's okay.
They should have been arrested for this album, it was certainly an assault on my ears and punishable by banishment forever. (Edited)
Deep Purple releasing a cover's album in 2021!
