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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.7/100, a mean average of 76.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.5.

My friend Janine was my college neighbor for three years IIRC, and for three years I did not have to keep track of Little Feat's release schedule, because I knew Janine would buy each album the instant it was available, and I'd be hearing it immediately through our shared wall. It was great.

One of the three classic Little Feat albums, along with, sailin' shoes, and, feats don't fail me now, Dixie chicken, is another of Lowell George's superb southern boogie LP's. Featuring some beautiful instrumentation and some great songs in, two trains, on your way down, and, fat man in the bath tub, it's a superb record, perfect for chilling out too. Good stuff.

Nice southern blues/boogie rock album. Handful of highlights include Fat Man in the Bathtub, Fool Yourself, and of course the title track. Pretty solid all the way through.

Little Feat's best album(BS 2686). "Fool Yourself' and "Roll 'em Easy" are the best.
