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 79.8/100, a mean average of 79.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.6.

Whilst I can appreciate the musicianship, it isn't anywhere near their best album. 'Whipping Post' clearly the standout track.

Great debut album. They were to do better albums later in their career but what an outstanding start to their journey. Essential listening

Badly underated album from one of the fathers of southern rock. Many of these songs became the staple of their live shows. Whipping Post being the ultimate jam number. Listen to this LP.
Incredible debut, the founding father of southern rock albums, rarely if ever equaled. It doesn't get much better than this.
Solid lineup of tracks from beginning to end. Highlights include, 'Black Hearted Woman' which has an almost Hendrix sound to it, and one of the greatest LP climax's with 'Whipping Post'. Perfect balance between blues and southern rock. The boys bare all in a way that later albums would never capture.
Heavy blues at its finest.

Wow... just wow. Amazing southern blues rock/guitar work. Really dig: Don't Want You No More, Trouble No More, Dreams, and Whipping Post.
A stunning debut that essentially invented the Southern Rock genre. Probably the best studio album they ever made. Criminally underrated.

The best studio Allman Brothers Band album in my opinion, remains unfortunately (still) their most underrated effort. A raw blues-rock experience without the country influences that were introduced in later albums.
A pretty decent debut, unnoticed and ignored at the time of its release. This one is the most raw and energetic of all their studio releases, so it's a real treat to hear all these bluesy songs before they became smooth and slick by the time they got to Fillmore East.

...and so it begins. The Allman Brothers first masterpiece. How do these guys get so overlooked?
