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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.4/100, a mean average of 70.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.4.

I think this album is their highest ranked because of Birmingham but I actually think other albums, especially By Blood, are better.

The title of this album may give you a sense of what to expect. Husband-and-wife team Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst deliver a potent blend of country, rock, folk, and blues, taking turns on vocals, guitar, and drums. For just a duo, they get a tremendously full and soulful sound. It's all great, but try the album opener, "Birmingham" for a sense of the potency that's to come.
