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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.6/100, a mean average of 75.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

Very old-fashioned but refreshing!
This band has a bunch of top personnel doesn't it? Written and recorded in 10 days. That's beyond amazing due to it being full of quality tracks. It sounds as you'd expect from this amalgamation of class musicians.
Shortlisted for album of the year at the Grammys in 1990. The winner was Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
This feels more like a passion project and that allows the listener to be able to just enjoy the music without having to think too deeply into it which is a very refreshing feeling. The music is a lot of fun and feels unique in its style and tone which makes for an engaging listen. While a few tracks might not be great, none of them are weak and they all match each other in terms of atmosphere. This record is just a joy to listen to as it is something that I never thought would ever happen and so listening to it just makes me happy. Overall, just sit back and enjoy these legends performing together as something like this will never happen again.

Album of the year, 1988
El mayor supergrupo de la historia del rock.
The first and last songs are really great but what makes the album is the overall sound and tone which is just fun. We need more music like this.

Learned about them in a contemporary class for Rock'N'roll history in Cegep and bought this record. I definitely don't regret it. It's nothing epic but it's definitely a fun album by a group of legends.

A fun records by a group made up of legends in a time where music wasn't at it's best.
