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 is rated in the top 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.1/100, a mean average of 86.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.6.

This is THE BEST comp for an introduction to Howlin' Wolf!!!
His first two LPs on one CD!?? Damn!... you can't go wrong here.
And just check the track listing; these 24 classic songs might be all the Wolf you'll ever need.
