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 Bayesian average rating of 77.9/100, a mean average of 77.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

The most dynamic tracks here - You're Still My Woman, Ask Me No Questions, King's Special, Chains and Things - sound a little like Led Zeppelin, and it's not because B.B. King took inspiration from them. Zeppelin was at the top of the world in 1970, but I find this album just as compelling and more genuine, as King was throwing back to a sound he helped invent, rather than appropriating others' work. This is the best starting point, in my opinion, for someone who wants to get into B.B. King. (Edited)
