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 71.3/100, a mean average of 68.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.3.

good album, of course it has its high and low points but overall I must say that I like most of it.
favourite songs from this album: River, Dean, Milestones
worst song on this album: Live Life
Softer, more contemplative record from Terry Reid, four years after his last, the self-titled second album. You have to dig a bit more for the rewards on this one, but they’re there: on the lovely acoustic (by Reid) and slide guitars (by David Lindley) throughout, and especially on the terrific title track, “Dream,” and “Milestones.” Unfortunately, Reid was toiling in relative obscurity by this point, but this is a lovely record which deserves a wider audience.
