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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.8/100, a mean average of 72.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.9.

It's rusty, it's old shcool, what more can be said. Here It was born of the best best duos in recent rock history.

A good debut, but I think the next couple albums are better. You can see their progression from here.

It's remarkable how much this band has changed in 12 years while arguably playing the same type of music all the way.

The most bluesy album the Keys ever made. Very raw, and very rockin'. The last song is pretty pointless, but the rest of the album is really good.
