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 24% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 74.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

Neko Case's debut album is by far her most straightforwardly country release. Like every album she's made thus far, it is excellent. But it doesn't quite have the melodic maturity or lyrical dexterity of some of her albums that have come since, especially Blacklisted and Fox Confesssor Brings the Flood. It does contain the only genuinely bad song in Case's catalog, the obnoxious "Honkytonk Hiccups." But this is a forgivable, even endearing, misstep, considering how many truly excellent songs she's written and recorded, including "Jettison," probably the best track on this album. A fine preview of what was to come.
