Rating metrics: Help 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 13% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.4/100, a mean average of 74.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.6.

Raw yet polished garage rock and roll. Most tracks quite short but with a lot packed into them. You can hear shades of 'Stooges' & 'The Cramps' throughout . Wide range of styles but all still within the same umbrella. Solid and steady right through.

All'apparenza brutti, sporchi e cattivi ( nessuna delle tre cose, in realtà ), i Blues Explosion di Jon Spencer suonano una musica che è blues scorticato nell'anima e rock abrasivo nel corpo, omaggiante alla loro maniera ( ruvida e senza l'utilizzo del basso ) i maestri del genere, siano il Rufus Thomas pure presente nel brano il cui titolo rimanda alle sue canzoni ( "Chicken dog" ) o i Rolling Stones dei primi anni settanta ( "Wail" o "Can't stop" nella forma, oppure la conclusiva "Sticky", che è ciò che esprime il titolo… ). Canzoni incuranti della bella forma eppure non prive di un loro potenziale almeno un minimo commerciale.

Some things to like. Some things to like less. Overall, worth hearing.

You can hear the ghosts of Pussy Galore in this one.

JSBX at their most rough, raw, and raunchy. That's some nasty-ass attitude.
