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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.2/100, a mean average of 78.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

An inconsistent record that has some absolute bangers but also some tracks which feel like filler making it feel quite unbalanced. Track 5-7 could be skipped entirely in my opinion as they don't add anything to the album for me. Then there is Tuesday's Gone, Simple Man and Free Bird which are some of their best ever songs. The instrumentation on these tracks are fantastic and they are so infectious. Overall, there are some phenomenal songs on here but you might as well enjoy them outside of the record without having to listen to the filler.

Very good album, first half is better with Tuesday's Gone and Simple Man, but second half has its biggest highlight on Free Bird.

Two incredible songs (Tuesday's Gone and Free Bird), one okay song (Simple Man) and the rest is very forgettable for me.
