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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 87.8/100, a mean average of 86.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

Not a huge Dylan fan in general, some nice tracks here but the album is too long and samey for me. Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands is nice but again too long - epitomises the issues I have with the album. I really liked I Want You and Stuck Inside of Mobile. (Edited)

A little all over the place in terms of quality for me, but the highs are Bob's absolute best. (Edited)

My favorite Dylan album. Bit more up tempo & blues leaning numbers on this. There's many catchy tunes but I find it's too long to listen to in one sitting to fully enjoy. (Edited)

Probably Dylan's best album. Had to a high bar to set being the first commercial double rock album, and it cleared the bar easily with some of his best ever songs—Visions of Johanna, 4th Time Around, I Want You, Just Like a Woman, Most Likely You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine, Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands, One of Us Must Know, Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again... the list goes on. Only two or three songs here I could live without, the rest I really love. Definitely one of the defining records of this early rock/folk sound. (Edited)
