Rating metrics: Help 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 67.5/100, a mean average of 65.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.9.

I was always envious of a school mates album and it has only taken me thirty plus years to get it on vinyl myself. Great hard rockin stuff. 'Street Fighter' is a personal favourite, closely followed up by 'Spendin Cabbage' and 'Fox Chase', no frills, just raw, hard driving rock with some blistering guitar riffery on 'Fox Chase'.

The most straight-ahead rock of all Blackfoot albums. Mostly songs about living fast and hard and chasing skirt. Good rock, but lacking the depth of that which preceded or followed.
