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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.8/100, a mean average of 80.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

One of my favorites from Marley
Grande marco do reggae!
I prefer the "Jamaican" version with the alternate cover. But great nonetheless!
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.
No doubt these guys came out swingin' on Island Records. Still not sure how High Tide or Low Tide doesn't make the cut though.
Fully formed “debut” this is one of my favorite albums Bob Marley was associated with. The Wailers include Bunny Wailer & Peter Tosh here and their contributions pack a big punch. Perhaps it didn’t have songs as great as on the next album Burnin’ but this album flows together quite well. Concrete Jungle, Stop That Train, Stir It Up & No More Trouble are standout tracks.
This album can be used to treat anxiety. The lyrical content may be heavy (concrete jungle, 400 years), but the sense of calm and pure beauty are unparalleled.
Favorite Tracks:Baby we've got a date, No more trouble
Positive. We need more positive music. I love Bob's voice in the last song.
Outstanding debut from The Wailers, really shows all their potential. "Stir It Up" is a an underapreciated song on Bob's catalogue.
