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 73.1/100, a mean average of 72.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

A fine modern country album. Never listened before but a pleasant surprise, albeit I'm not a country music fan.

You know, this is not my style, but was actually pretty good. Listenable with no song being particularly long or trying. As contemporary country goes, tolerable.

Mr. Yoakam's third record is a standout. Containing two number one singles there is not a stinker on here. The Buck Owen's duet "Streets of Bakersfield" is just fantastic. Though not a fan of 80's country Dwight's first three albums are an exception to the 80's malady.

One of my all time favourite "Country" albums, it has a Blue Grass feel to it but overall a great atmosphere is created. Dwight has a great voice and the songs "Send Me The Pillow" "I Got You" the title track and I Sang Dixie" are gems. The rest of the album is at least 80/100.
