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 has a Bayesian average rating of 70.2/100, a mean average of 69.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.1.

Man I really dislike a lot of the lyrics on this album, especially Your Body is a wonderland, It's very childish, the guitar playing is mostly on point though

Amazing album. Could have done with a few tracks being cut but there is some really good coffee-shop rock here. The first 5 songs are all essential Mayer

In my opinion this is one of the best albums of the new millenium. It launched John Mayer into superstardom. He's a better guitar player than given credit for and these songs are really catchy. They still hold up 10 years later.

Wow, I'm the first comment on the biggest seller of 2001 (that's a guess)? I guess it's not cool to be a John Mayer fan. If you love Brian Wilson's lyrics this is the closest you'll get to his classic period. These are the poems of a picked on kid who locked himself in a room and became a guitar virtuoso. There's anger in the lyrics about his old school, he's a retard around girls, he's clumsy and socially inept. Like every other high school kid except he had the guts to put it on wax (is that term used anymore?) The axe work is amazing. Too bad he went poking around with Jen and became cool (rhymes with tool). And what's with his tatoo anyway? He looks like a moron with that thing.
