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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.0/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

I’ve always been a Walsh fan no matter what band he has played with. This is a great album because of the variety of styles and different elements of the music genre. It’s amazing how some of the songs swing from one side of the rock scale to the other. I consider all nine tracks exceptional with Rocky Mountain Ways leading the way.
A mixed bag with no definite focus on some style, More some of that guitar , pls JOE
Best Tracks: Rocky Mountain Way
