Rating metrics: Help 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 17% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 72.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

What you see is what you get with Molly Hatchet—good-time, hard-hitting, boogie southern rock ‘n roll. All the songs here are good, maybe a bit samey sounding, but enjoyable. There are three cuts that rise above the rest though: the fiery opener Whiskey Man, the classic title track, and easily my favorite of the bunch Boogie No More, which has some of the best guitar I’ve heard in my life. Those are the highlights, but it’s all solid stuff.

Excellent follow-up to their equally impressive debut. This is the epitome of hard southern rock.
