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 75.3/100, a mean average of 76.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.0.

Features a few tracks that would slot easily into any Black Keys album. But what makes this a true solo affair is that Auerbach allows more of his influences to shine through. There's the rock, but with more the blues background pushed to the fore. But there's some folk, too. Hell, there's even some gospel flavor mixed in.

If you like the Black Keys you've got to hear this. If you don't maybe you should check this out for perspective on what this guy does with the rest of his time. It's different enough, at times, that it might win him a few new fans.

Awesome solo album that you don't hear about too much. Whispered Words is one of the best songs Dan Auerbach has ever written. Similar to The Black Keys, sure, but there's nothing wrong with that.
