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 71.7/100, a mean average of 71.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.0.

Stones in the Road is the fifth studio album by Mary Chapin-Carpenter. The record follows up the smash hit album Come On Come On by treading a similar formula, but this record is all Carpenter though. No covers, and no hit co-writes with Don Schlitz. It's way more mid-tempo
and intimate, perhaps the most introspective mainstream country album ever made.
This record doesn't have many memorable upbeat pop-rock kickers, and ultimately it suffers compared to Come On Come On. She would get more lively on her next record "A Place in the World."
