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 65.4/100, a mean average of 63.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 63.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 27.5.

A guilty pleasure because this is definitely not my style of music. I just can't help myself.
I think this is his best album by a wide margin. I am not a fan, but I do like this album quite a bit.

I've heard people say that Garth Brooks isn't real country. Whether it's country or not, it's still good music, and that's all that matters to me.

Not as strong as No Fences or In Pieces... but still better than 99% of modern country.

The greatest album by the man most responsible for bringing country back to life. After this one others would do the same thing better though.
