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 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 73.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

I just couldn't get into this album try as I might after 4 full listens
The only track that clicked for me was the rather excellent " I Wanna Make It Right" , unfortunately the remaining tracks were rather meh . And lyrically the "Blues" this "Blues" that repeating gets tiresome
Far from terrible , this album is just isn't in my musical wheel house
I really liked the first song, it had a great riff, but most of it dragged a bit for me. "Bernie" was just awful. Average album overall, some tracks are great.

My first JSBE album. I bought it on a whim, thinking they were a blues band. What a silly lad I was. This album blew me away. Dirty, dirty, dirty rock and roll. So much swagger, so much attitude, so much power from a three-piece.
Front to back, this album smokes.
