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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.6/100, a mean average of 77.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.0.

Not Rod's best release but not his worst either. Most of his worst releases came after this.

fantastic LP
Strong rock 'n' roll album with that Rod Stewart folk twang. Really gets rolling in the second half with shout-it-out rockers like Too Bad and their cover of Memphis, Tennessee. Also some nice quiet, passionate stuff on here like Love Lives Here and Debris. Of course Stay with Me is one of the defining songs of classic rock. Certainly the best of their records I've heard.
if it's Rod it's sexy. some decent stuff Stay With Me an above average song

Rock n’ Roll perfection. Memphis Tennessee is one of my favorite covers of all time. Every song makes your ears perk up and take notice. Rod Stewart is neck and neck with Van Morrison as the best pure rock vocalist to come out of the British Invasion.

Álbum forte, bem raiz, com pegada Rock 'n' Roll e Blues Rock poderosa.
The Faces best album. ANAGAAWTABH, is one of the ultimate party records, full of great sweaty rock'n'roll that is utterly infectious. All the band are on top form with, debris, st. Judy's farm, and off course, stay with me, all brilliant. Sometimes it feels there are two band's here, the Rod Stewart fronted Faces and the Ronnie Lane version. Still, it's a classic record, one of the great Saturday night LP's.
Faces, after years of trying, finally reached something close to their idols, the Rolling Stones. Standouts include Stay With ME, Memphis, Tennessee, and Miss Judy's Farm. If you like Sticky Fingers by the ROlling Stones you should like this album.
Best Track: Stay With Me
