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 24% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.8/100, a mean average of 74.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.4.

This album does not rock at all, but somehow it makes this album more cohesive. Many ballads and softness may have been the reason for bad sales in 1970?

The 4th. Album from Free and a commercial flop! But hey, this is perhaps their best album. Lowkey, more subtle and soulful than the more hardrocking Fire and water, but listen to the songs here. Magnificent! The melancholy of the last song, Soon I will be gone, is intensely moving. Paul Rodgers' voice is in top shape and Koss on shivering guitar is stunning! Give it a listen!
