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 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 74.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.7.

Simply very good blues rock. Doesn't try to be more than it is, and I respect that. (Edited)

Never heard of this guy or album until I read about it in the forums on this site. That is a travesty. This is a fantastic blues album.

One of the greatest blues albums by one of the great blues artists. Checkin' Up On My Baby is fantastic.

Arguably the greatest blues album ever cut. Leaving Trunk and Statesboro Blues are about as good as it gets.
