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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.1/100, a mean average of 79.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.3.

A well titled debut from Gregg Allman. The re-worked versions of the Allman brothers songs are an honest rival to the original versions. I may even like Allman's solo version of Midnight Rider more. There's a spectacular version of Jackson Browne's These Days as well. (Edited)
For his solo debut, Gregg takes a different spin on a couple of his own standards, some new tracks, and great covers. It's much more soulful and R&B influenced than the ABB albums. My favorite track is the closer.
