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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.0/100, a mean average of 76.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

A typical rock'n'roll guitar album from the Crazy horse. Ragged glory, has a great live feel and is easily Neil Young's best record in over a decade. Some enjoyable songs here in, f*!#in' up, over and over, and, love and only love. The band are clearly enjoying themselves and in turn the listener cannot fail to be sucked into that atmosphere. Not amazing musically, but hey, it's only rock'n'roll.
The title is what it is -- garage music, possibly the greatest ever -- sloppiness and simplicity embraced as virtues. If you can handle raw, melodic anthems by people who love their work and can barely play their instruments (yet play them with more feeling than almost any pros), this will astound you. Neil Young has never before or since made a "loud" album this engaging; he's kept trying.
Ragged Glory is back to basics collaboration with Crazy Horse. Neil beings a solid set of songs and the ensemble keeps the melodies and choruses simple, allowing some extended jams that do not stray too far from the melody and do not go on too long.
Young borrows the melody from The River is Wide for the closer Natural Anthem. The 1959 Don and Dewey cover of Farmer John is excellent too.
One of the best Crazy Horse albums. Highly recommended.

A return to form! At last! I thought it would never come. Ragged Glory is rowdy, boisterous, loud, and raw. Ragged Glory might be the most perfect album name ever, it describes the music so perfectly it's almost scary. Some of the songs might seem like a taxing listen when you look at the track list and see two 10 minute songs. But the free flowing nature of this record really lets these tracks fly by. An absolute must for any fan of garage rock and Neil Young.
A recent purchase that I wasn't familiar with, maybe because not a lot of radio time goes to songs with extended jamming. This album blew my mine, what a contrast compared to early 70's like my favorite Harvest album. Some great long songs that jam and not a weak track on this album. (Edited)
