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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.1/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

This was when Mac were branching pout to continue surviving. They were letting the women call the tune, and the results were both interesting and enjoyable.

I consider it the best album of the band (yes, better than Rumors). Plenty of masterpieces, it’s inexplicably underrated.

The best moments of this album come when Christine McVie takes the lead. A good album, not their best and very '80s.

Easy to forget how good this album is considering how much attention Rumours, Tusk, and the self-titled album get. But then you listen to tracks like Big Love, Everywhere, and Little Lies and remember how great this collection is. There’s also plenty to love beyond the hits; Isn’t It Midnight, Caroline, and especially the title track, just to name a few, are also excellent. Definitely worth putting the whole thing on once in a while.

Another great album. Mirage for me was a decrease in quality after their great run from Fleetwood Mac (75) to Tusk, but this one was a return to form. My favourites are Big Love, Everywhere, Caroline and Family Man.
