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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.1/100, a mean average of 76.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.9.

A good start for the pre-Michael McDonald Doobies' classic four-album run in the early '70s. Obviously Listen to the Music, Jesus Is Just Alright, and Rockin' Down the Highway are essentials. White Sun and the title track are also hidden gems.

This album does not age because it is timeless, it continues to be inspiring for all those who truly love good music, unfortunately there are music consumers, those who are driven by trends and do not know how to evaluate a job with the depth that should be done, the groove in "Listen to the Music" will continue to shake the next generations who have been in touch with real music, rock elements, blues, gospel, etc, fantastic album!

Back in the day this record rocked. Unfortunately it hasn't aged well. It was fun while it lasted.
