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 has a Bayesian average rating of 70.2/100, a mean average of 69.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.0.

A Buddy Holly rockabilly freakout. I don't know what these guy's were on. The release takes it to the next level. Even the Dead's Phil Lesh did a cover of "Station Man" on the Dead's Terrapin Station with "Passenger". Songs totally rock & are well crafted. Opens with "This is the Rock" which follows with an entourage of bluesy slide guitar fest like embellishments. Danny Kirwan contributes as a major singer/songwriter deadringer rocker. My favorites include " Jewel Eyed Judy" and "Hi Ho Silver" which parody's Elvis's hip swinging era. A total delight from start to finish

Fleetwood Mac were still good without Peter Green, this is proof.

Definitely in the transitional period for the band. Not much stands out here.

With Peter Green gone Fleetwood Mac were no longer interesting. There was still talent in the band, but other than Jewel Eyed Judy nothing on here raises any eyebrows. A couple more snoozers would follow before they found new inspiration.
