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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.8/100, a mean average of 70.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

This was the second album from Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps. It was released in 1957, four months after its predecessor, “Bluejean Bop”.
Five tracks are originals written by Vincent and guitarist Cliff Gallup and Tex Davis. These are pretty typical early Vincent rockers, with “Red Blue Jeans and a Pony Tail” and “You Told Me a Fib”, as the strongest.

The album contains none of Vincent's most famous tracks, and is probably one of his most anonymous. There is a nice version of the classic "Unchained Melody" a song that fits well with Vincent's sensitive side. Also nice is the ballad "I Sure Miss You"
