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 64.1/100, a mean average of 61.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 61.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 23.9.

“For me it has to be Me and my best friend played that to death in high school before he moved away for work. Specifically the song "My body is a cage" Also, as a kid helping around the house my mom would always play... And Celine Dion and Whitney Houston. As a kid the first album I played to death…”

With time relentlessly moving forward, the man most responsible for rockin' up country don't really rock anymore, and neither does his early records. His debut is an ok listen, but with few numbers worth noting (Much Too Young and Cowboy Bill).

Dance gets a little schlocky, but this isn't a bad debut for the man who made country relevant again.
