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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.7/100, a mean average of 77.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.5.

If anyone else sung these songs (lyrics wise), there's a chance I wouldn't be interested. Mr. Cash had soul that transcends.

I find it hard to listen to this collection of albums. Not because they are bad, they're just so honest and emotional.

His voice reminds me of how Billie Holiday's sounded on her final album. You can tell that he knew the end was near a very emotional album.

Johnny Cash's voice sounds thin and strained, but it adds to the tone of the album. Very reflective. A bit flat at times.
