Rating metrics: Help 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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.3/100, a mean average of 74.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

Why he didn't release this sooner will always be a mystery to me. It's kind of a masterpiece. Separate Ways, the title track, and White Line are great. Florida is fine, but it sticks out like a sore thumb on an album like this.

This album is really good, barring Florida (which is one of the worst songs I've ever heard). The opener is amazing, and Love is a Rose is a classic.

A very welcome release from Neil Young. It may not be as good as the other albums recorded in its era, but its still an instant favorite for me. Some of these songs were already released on albums that were recorded after Homegrown, but I enjoyed these renditions just as much.

Doesn't anyone feel short-changed by this release? The emperor looks fine in his new clothes.

Fine album, I think "White Line" is the best track.
