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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.4/100, a mean average of 71.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.0.

My favourite indigo girls album by far. Packed with great songs with kid fears, Prince of darkness and land of Canaan leading the way. Caught them live on the tour supporting this album. Hard to believe that was over 30 years ago.

This self-titled album, Indigo Girls' second full-length, is one of the most iconic of my college years, and the album that my high school sweetheart loved more than any other. In terms of production, it's a big step forward from their self-produced debut Strange Fire, and it includes some well-chosen guest appearances from members of fellow Athens, Georgia, natives R.E.M. The formula here is pretty simple: acoustic guitar-driven folk music with a slightly dark edge and an air of Emory University pretention. That sounds a lot like criticism than it really is. What I mean is that the Indigo Girls aspire here to something more than Appalachia-infused contemporary folk; they're looking to make art. And for the most part, I think they've succeeded.
A fine record, probably their best.

this album is one of the main reasons i bought my first guitar and taught myself to play. although i don't listen to it much now, it holds a special place in my collection for that reason :-)
