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 is rated in the top 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.1/100, a mean average of 77.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.3.

The Long Ryders made three excellent albums in the 1980s and Two Fisted Tales rounds out the trilogy as their best record. When it comes to Tom Petty meets Byrds roots-rock jangle-pop, Long Ryders are hard to beat. Even when the lyrics and tunes don't really stand out, every song is masterfully executed.

Track Pick: Harriet Tubman's Going to Carry Me Home.
