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 70.6/100, a mean average of 69.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.5.

I have enjoyed this Arlo album for longer than I care to remember. Arlo's reworking of the southern gospel 'Down in/to the Valley/River to Pray' is a classic. Also good to see Arlo take on a largely unknown Dylan song (Percy's Song) and do it so well. I've added that Dylan cover to my own top 100 Dylan covers chart.
