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 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.3/100, a mean average of 75.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.5.

Texas Blues as practiced by one of iconic players in history - Albert Collins has the guitar chops of a legendary blues men. This offering finds soul in addition to the blues. Joined by seasoned organist, Jimmy McGriff and the Uptown Horns, the songs are toe-tapping exhibitions of Texas fried pyrotechnics.

This album is full of Albert's unique wit and tasty blues licks. Sure to please any lover of electric blues.
