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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a mean average rating of 79.0/100. The trimmed mean (excluding outliers) is 79.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

All great pre-Beatles artists are hamstrung on this website because they were way more focused on releasing singles. So this album, like all of the best Chuck Berry LPs are mostly just collections of previously released singles. It’s kind of a greatest hits album, but seeing how it was released in 1959 when Chuck was still in his prime and wasn’t packaged as such, I can give it a pass. Hard to argue with this collection not being the greatest, most consequential contribution to rock n roll music.
Absolutely awesome early rock 'n' roll album.
Favorites: Maybelline, Johnny B. Goode, Roll Over Beethoven.

Closest thing to a best-ever album from Chuck Berry. The comps are probably a better place to look, but this is dandy.
Timeless classic. After hearing this, I understand why Chuck Berry is such an icon.

If you want to know what the definition of rock and roll is, just listen to this.
Chuck Berry's got a good voice, and there are plenty of great 50's hits here.

Great Album. My only beef with Chuck Berry is he often starts his songs off the same, but other than that, his guitar playing brought the guitar to the forefront more than anyone else. Almost no filler on this album. Key tracks- Carol, Maybellene, Johnny B. Goode, Roll Over Beethoven. I also like the irony in Blues for Hawaiians.
plenty of good songs! Johnny B. Goode is a highlight!
