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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.1/100, a mean average of 75.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

A great record for a mellow summer afternoon. Their best album by far.

I don't think America have the edge that CSN sometimes get with Neil Young in tow but nevertheless this is a pleasant album with strong songs played well. Never mind what John Peel said about them because they do what they do well.

They do rival CSN, whom I really like as well, for their vocals and harmonies. I enjoyed every song on this album and will listen to them many times to come.

A very relaxing album.

They sound like they were inspired by CSN/Y. This sort of folky roots rock can be thought of as part of the original America/na wave.
