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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.0/100, a mean average of 76.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.9.

Shortlisted for album of the year in 1985. The winner was Can't Slow Down by Lionel Richie (Edited)
a masterpiece 40 years later (Edited)
Two great songs -- one of which is famously misunderstood. But I can't entirely blame those who think 'Born in the U.S.A.' is a patriotic anthem -- other than the titular refrain it's hard to hear the vocals, which are drowned out by everything else on the track. (Edited)

Easily his most overated album. (Edited)
Overall a very consistent album, one of the best of Springsteen's catalog
