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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 75.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.2.

I purchased this album on the promise of 2 Paul Westerberg compositions, never being a true dyed in the wool Glen Campbell fan. Upon first listen, not only was I impressed with the Westerberg tunes, but in the overall cohesive nature of the album in its entirety. As reflected in the liner notes written by Campbell himself, the album is put together to be a reflection of the many segments of Campbell's life as his swan song from the recording industry as a result of his diagnosis with Alzheimer's Disease. It packs a wallop.

Glen Campbell has always been serviceable as a singles artist, but it's been hard to get jazzed about his albums in their entirety -- until this one. Designed to be Glen's swan song following his Alzheimer's diagnosis, this pseudo-concept album holds together well as a through-and-through listen. While some cuts stand alone well, this one is best when taken in its totality. If you know Glen's story, this album is utterly compelling.
