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 72.1/100, a mean average of 72.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.5.

I'll never understand why people consider this as not as good as Coney Island Baby or any of his crummy 80s crap. Must be groupthink. Cuz this has more good ones on it than all his other albums besides Transformer. Same with Rock n Roll Heart.

Like Rock and Roll Heart starts off a bit goofy but by NY Stars you get locked in. Kill Your Sons is a song Lou kept in his live act for years. Sally Can't Dance is a lot of fun. Billy is a solid tune that ends things on an even keel.
