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 77.1/100, a mean average of 76.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

Great blues rock album
The greatest studio album from the great man. Fabulous blues rock
Have only recently got into Rory Gallagher. This album is fantastic, recently bought on vinyl re-issue and it is so full of energy. This guy was one hell of a guitarist. One of those albums, the more you listen, the more you hear.
With a couple of exceptions I love all of rory gallaghers albums, (I like the other ones, just not as much) but this one just shades it for me as his best over Duece, on the basis that there is not a weak track on it.

Arguably Rory Gallagher's best studio effort. His best work was done live, but this is definitely worth a listen. Several of these tracks were performed on his landmark Irish Tour album. This is blues-rock at its finest.
