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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.9/100, a mean average of 73.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

If we've said it once, we've said it a million times. The man has a knack for writing guitar licks. In my opinion, an improvement of the already solid debut album. I always hoped for a White Stripes reunion and while it looks like that will never happen, Jack White on his own seems to suffice just fine. So in the unofficial war between him and The Black Keys, musically, I'd have to give this year to Mr. White, unlike 2012. And if I know anything, it's that this album will jump right up to the top 10 on this site.

Jack White has made a significant mark on the history of rock and roll music, both as the creative force behind the White Stripes and as a record producer and collaborator. His contributions as a solo artist have been more modest, probably because they lack some of the ragged, idiosyncratic edges that made his work with his sister Meg so special. Having said that, I do think Lazaretto deserves consideration for its a statement about Jack White's virtuosity on the guitar, which is absolutely undeniable on this album. While it feels more polished, more produced, and ultimately more calculated than anything the White Stripes ever did, it's an enjoyable listen that contains the very fine track "Alone in My Home."

Not quite as consistent as his first solo album, but still very good. Kind of trails off in the second half, but overall it has a lot of great songs and moments. He's always at his best when playing the blues, and though I enjoy his country side too, it gets a little tiring. Favorite tracks: Alone In My Home, Lazaretto, Just One Drink, That Black Bat Licorice. (Hoping The Raconteurs rise from the dead at some point in the near future too...)
First half is a LOT stronger than the second. The second tends to wallow in a dandy lil Nashville sound, whereas the first half is just badass

Jack White on cruise control; brings few interesting things to a record and pretty much is swimming in sub-par songwriting. Shame.
