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 has a Bayesian average rating of 70.2/100, a mean average of 69.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

“Edmunds' best solo albums are these, IMO. They aren't REALLY solo albums, though. The band is Rockpile (who were great as well), but they couldn't record for awhile under that name, so Edmunds and Nick Lowe released the recordings as solo albums. Try these: Also...Edmunds recorded this live album…”

“And on with 1977: An album I already own: Supertramp is the perfect band which can blend together prog with an outstanding pop sensibility and while some of the tracks tend to the first (the long Fool's Ouverture), the last is also very present on tracks like From Now On. I just love this album…”

One of two essential Dave Edmunds albums (Tracks On Wax 4 is the other). Edmunds and Rockpile shine on this set of songs which vary from 50's rock ("Git It" and "My Baby Left Me", which sounds like it came straight out of Sun Studios) to great cover choices (the definitive version of Bob Seger's "Get Out Of Denver", Graham Parker's "Back To School Days"), straight up country, and even a Rogers & Hart Song ("Where Or When"). The original songs are great, too. Having a songwriter like Nick Lowe in the band doesn't hurt. This is a fun and fast collection, one of the underrated albums of the 70's.
