The Doobies would probably not be anybody's list of important or influential artists but setting all pretenions aside this is my favourite album - at present.
I was drawn to it by the hit singles China Grove & Long train Running but soon found there was so much more. Soulth City Midnight Lady is Patrick Simmons greatest song and is perfectly matched by Tom Johnston's Dark Eyed Cajun women.Ukiah,Natural Thing and the title track are all excellent. Two tracks short of ther perfect album [First added to this chart: 11/02/2013]

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 charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 84.7/100, a mean average of 83.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.8.
