Rating metrics: Help 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 78.5/100, a mean average of 78.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.9.

I just love this album. The packaging for the 30th anniversary edition in CD looks great, but does not sit well on my shelves.

Unless your name is Marley, your chances of having a well known reggae album in the US are slim and none. Which is too bad, because Culture was one of the best reggae bands you'd ever hear. Two Sevens Clash was born as a vision by singer Joseph Hill, predicting that the date 7/7/77 would be a holy day of judgement. The album is stunning and still holds up today as strong as it did then. The vocals are great, the songs carry strong spiritual images, and reggae was never played more beautifully as it is here. In 2002, the album was named by Rolling Stone as #25 of the 50 coolest albums of all time...how cool is that? It's that good.

Culture had a career spanning 28 albums before the sudden death of Hill on tour in 2006. Like Marley, his legacy is being carried on by his son, with Culture making plans for a new album.
