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 73.1/100, a mean average of 73.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.2.

Dylan claims (in Chronicles Volume 1) that Johnny's version of 'Positively 4th Street' is better than his own. High praise indeed! I have included Johnny's version on my 'top 100 Dylan covers' chart - Dylan wasn't wrong!

This is one of my all-time favorites. I first got it on vinyl in early '68, then cassette, now on CD. I reach for this masterpiece time and again. It is an ode to Southern California life in 1967. Best songs are Summer Rain and Goin' Back To Big Sur. Even the covers of Whiter Shade of Pale and Positively 4th Street have merit.
