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 78.4/100, a mean average of 76.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.8.

The inclusion of 5 previously unreleased songs makes this 'Greatest Hits' collection a touch more interesting ~ although in a truer context of Dylan's greatest hits up to 1971, there are a great number of 'masterpieces' left off and a few "not so' greatest hits included. So, perhaps more of a marketing exercise to fill in the lean years after 1970's 'New Morning'. As a keen Dylan follower, I appreciated getting my 'Dylan fix' via this album up at the time.

One of my all time favourite compilations with tons of previously unreleased classics like “Watching the River Flow” and “You Ain’t Going Nowhere”.
