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 73.5/100, a mean average of 72.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

A mixed bag that seems to be an attempt to appeal to both fans of Clapton's blues based stuff and his pop/adult contemporary stuff. It will probably satisfy neither, but the first half at least is listenable enough. Better versions of songs from this album appear on Unplugged and 24 Nights.
