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 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.4/100, a mean average of 73.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.7.

Not as good as their first, incohesive, unbalanced, and unfocused. A mix of bluesrock, psychedelia and some kind of hard rock?
A fun album just to grab and listen to. Best tracks: Magic Carpet Ride, Faster Than The Speed of Life, None Of Your Doing and 28. A must-have for Steppenwolf fans. Overall, better than their first.
Best Tracks: Don't Step On The Grass, Sam and Magic Carpet Ride

Almost as strong as their self-titled...
