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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.9/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

Highly underrated on this sight. I was surprised to see it ranked so low. For me this is easily in Bob’s top 5 albums. Positive Vibration, Roots, Rock, Reggae, Crazy Baldman, Who The Cap Fit, War and Rat Race are favs of mine.

A bit of a low point for Marley but a decent work still.

Lyrically, a huge dip from his previous outputs. Outside of a couple tracks the album seems like a collection of B-sides that didn't have a home in Natty Dread or Exodus. In 1976 this would have been his weakest release since Soul Revolution five years prior back in The Wailer days. It's still Marley though and even his weaker songwriting is passable as a decent/good album.

Disco bello e famoso in cui spicca "War": il motivo per cui questa canzone non venga insegnata nelle scuole ( dall'insegnante di musica, di storia, di letteratura, anche di religione ) mi sfugge…

A fine Bob Marley record and underrated and overlooked probably because none of the songs on this album appear on, legend. Still, it's a good album. Just one in a series of excellent LP's in the seventies from Marley.
