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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.5/100, a mean average of 75.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

Più che un album doppio "Giant step / De ole folks at home" vanno considerati come due dischi incisi separatamente ma poi pubblicati insieme: invece che separati alla nascita, uniti alla nascita. Buono il primo ma la vera sorpresa è il secondo: nessuna concessione al pop, sguardo diretto verso la tradizione seppur rivisitata, blues ma soprattutto country. Canzoni gioiose, rilassate, tutte per sola chitarra o solo banjo e voce: la più striminzita delle strumentazioni.
