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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.4/100, a mean average of 78.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.4.

Another enjoyable Creedence Clearwater Revival record. Bayou country, isn't as brilliant as, green river, but it's yet another great rock'n'roll LP from one of America's great rock'n'roll bands. Proud Mary, is a classic song, as is the title track. Not their best then, but still good. (Edited)

Their albums were always better than they got credit for. This oone has some great jams, and "Born On The Bayou" defined their sound.

Soaked in bourbon and hot sauce...
It's a decent album, just a tad less inspired than other CCR releases. Unless you're a big-time CCR fan, you'd be forgiven for passing on purchasing this one. Highlights include Born on the Bayou and Proud Mary, but overall an unsurprising and forgettable release from this iconic band. (Edited)
A great album which despite it's age doesn't sound that dated. The audio delivery from the re-issued vinyl is superb. Excellent psychedelic guitar throughout makes it a really immersive listening experience. (Edited)
