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 has a Bayesian average rating of 67.2/100, a mean average of 62.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 62.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.9.

Unjustly forgotten by everyone. Here are just a few things that are worth remembering about this album: The African choir at the beginning of Pretoria ("Impilo geyatu!"), the crazy harmonies that open Native American and Bruce Springsteen singing "Hoka Hey Wana", "Our government's conspired/To make Jesus a liar" (said in 1987), the celebratory rave-ups of Bitter Fruit and Trail of Broken Treaties.... it all still holds up, I'll admit surprisingly.
