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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.1/100, a mean average of 75.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.9.

One of the greats, pls do no fly private, Goddamit. Take Northwest.
This is the best Otis Redding album I've heard personally. Though I like "Otis Blue", this one is just better in my opinion track-for-track. The unbelievably spectacular opening track almost overshadows the rest of the album with its sheer power and attention it commands, but especially on repeated listens, the rest of this one shows how much of a gem it is. Perhaps one of its strengths is the occasional hint of 60s pop flavor that makes these soul ballads even more memorable.
Lovely record. Great songs sung by a great singer. You just can't go wrong.
The King of Soul. Sexy and smoldering this is a great record.

Nobody does it like Otis Redding. This album is perfect for those in love, or those who need a reminder.
