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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 74.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.0.

This is blues and always worth at least 85
John Lee Hooker with Carlos Santana/(The) Santana (Band), Bonnie Raitt, Robert Cray, Canned Heat, Los Lobos, George Thorogood & Charlie Musselwhite.
Allmusic gives this 2/5. Wow... that's a lot of hatin'! This is a super fun and excellent album.
For me this is his best.
Favorite Tracks:Baby Lee, Think Twice Before You Go, No Substitute
Solid album by the blues master.
