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 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.8/100, a mean average of 74.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 8.7.

There is no denying that Emitt Rhodes' third album is something of a disappointment: especially if you compare it with his first two albums - the fine "The American Dream" and the excellent successor "Emitt Rhodes".

Rhodes was in 1971 under pressure with coming up with new songs and new recordings. "Mirror" is marked by the fact that Rhodes did not have the necessary time to come up with a worthy successor to the classic "Emitt Rhodes". Although the sound and instrumentation is very similar to its predecessor, the songs simply do not have the same high standards.

The album which has a pretty short playing contains less than a handful of songs that keep the standards of his 1970 album.

The few highlights include the McCartney inspired "Better Side of Life" and "Side We seldom Show".

The slighly funky title-track also is one of the better numbers. The absolute highlight is "Love Will Stone You" - which like most of Rhodes' recordings bears a very strong resemblance to the Beatles' sound.
