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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.7/100, a mean average of 74.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.1.

I haven’t enjoyed the last couple of Lu’s albums that much but this is back to form for one of the great songwriters of the last 50 years. Blistering stuff (Edited)
I love the music of Lucinda over thirty years. The last albums I enjoyed the music but got irritated by her voice. On this album voice and music are very good and a couple of songs are very good. And as always the lyrics are outstanding.
By the way: this comment is not AI, but from someone who is not used to write in English. (Edited)
I usually like Lucinda Williams, but I'm not really into this album. For me, it's the weakest of her career. A matter of taste, I suppose. (Edited)
