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 17% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 72.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

Probably one of the most underrated albums of all time. Going to the Country is one of Miller's very best songs. Going to Mexico, Never Kill Another Man, Tokin's, and Jackson-Kent Blues are also very good, and the rest of album is certainly worth listening too as well.

Different than what I am used to hearing from the SMB.
A so-so album but Jackson-Kent blues is utterly brilliant.
