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 17% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 72.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.7.

Perfectly good country album. I think these days we're just content with a decent one... not sure this genre will ever recover.

The music is generally enjoyable, with the track "Death Wish" being a standout. However, the album's second half tends to lose momentum, giving the impression that the band struggled to maintain their initial creativity and uniqueness in melodies. Additionally, their sound occasionally comes across as somewhat generic.

Classy country while still retaining a somewhat rugged sound and aesthetic - very nice !

Really good album. I never fell in love with Reunions (the last one). I have a feeling Weathervanes will be on repeat for me. After one listen I feel like I like it as least as much as Nashville Sound. Great songwriting. "From the gut" lyrics. Music is Isebellian - nothing that radically new sounding, but there are a few surprises.
