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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.6/100, a mean average of 71.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

The title track's pretty iconic. With the earlier albums from George, you know what you're getting. And this is as George as you can get. (Edited)
Brilliant, the best Thorogood's album and one of the best blues rock albums ever, Ian Steward from the stones worked here, great songs, my favourites is john lee hooker cover New Boogie Chilun, of course Bad to the Bone, As the years go passing by and Blue Highway, you must to listen to......
