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 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 73.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.1.

John and Phil could hardly have been a bundle of fun during these sessions but what a fantastic set of soulful, sad tunes they produced. So much emotion, especially Hurt In Your Heart & Baby Please Come Home. Don't put this on if you've just blown a meaningful relationship...or on second thoughts do....but hide the whisky first.

Yes, Folk Rock was still a thing in 1980. And this was the best Folk Rock LP of that year.
