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 12% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.8/100, a mean average of 74.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

It's a great album, one of my favorite from 68-69, but it's not better than "Glided Palace of Sin". I really think of Gene as an amazing songwriter, but he did better things on “White Light” and “No Other”

In October 1968, before any Poco or Eagles or even Flying Burrito Brothers albums, and just a mere month after the monumental release of The Byrds' Sweetheart of the Rodeo, Dillard & Clark released this landmark album. Arguably the first country rock album, this album is not great merely for reasons of historical significance. No, the songs, the Freaking Songs, are out of this world. The music is backbeat drivin', pastoral packin', gorgeous harmonica laced, harmony heavenly, BLISS! The tight harmonies between Doug Dillard and Gene Clark are truly incredible. And even at this stage in his career, it was clear gene Clark was already a songwriters songwriter.

This album has become so much a part of me and is so goddamn seemingly CUSTOM BUILT for my enjoyment and adoration, that it is hard to explain how much I love it or why for that matter. It's just a wholesome, earthy, perfectly structured rock album, country album, songwritrer album (I am mostly thinking of Gene Clark here. I know it is cheating cuz this ain't marked as Singer/Songwriter on RYM...but it is clear to me the lyrical content and much of the music is Gene Clark through and through.) and just album period. Its 28 minutes of Americana at its best. There is absolutely nothing off about it, there is nothing "merely good" about it, and , okay, I'll just say it, its better than even Gilded Palace of Sin! There! I said it! Now get out of my sight so I can think about what I've said. Ignore that... I am vacillating pretty heavily here. They're both perfect!

Grade: 9.7/10
