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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.9/100, a mean average of 76.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.0.

I bought this album inspired by their great compilation "Recurring Dream" . "Woodface" was the logical choice with the outstanding "Weather With You" and the fine singles "Fall at Your Feet" and "It's Only Natural" - moreover "Woodface" is the only album to feature both Finn brothers.
At first the 4 tracks from "Recurring Dream" seemed to be the highlights of the albums, but soon I realized that there was much more to go for. The Beatles inspiration is obvious on most tracks, not least on the great opener "Chocolate Cake" - "Rubber Soul" ala 1991.
Neil Finn's country-inspired "She Goes On" - is simply beautiful; reminds me of the best tracks of the Eagles' "Desperado". Drummer Paul Hester's "Italian Plastic" is refreshingly different - with its raw John Lennon approach. Of course the beautiful folkish "Four Seasons in One Day" has to be brought forward. A durable album that can be listened to again and again.
This band have no real image to speak of. They are nothing to look at and their clothes are bad. There videos are hard to remember and the artwork mediocre at best. Liking them will NOT make you look cool. You will never envy their haircuts.
The Finn brothers are high quality songsmiths and what you are buying here is Grade A songwriting. Long after a bands image fades or goes out of fashion, beautifully crafted songwriting remains.
Beatlesque is right, durable is spot on. Woodface is a treasure for life.
She goes on. (Edited)
Truly Wonderful. Underated. Split Enz and Crowded House are amazing. 'Four Seasons in One Day' is one of their masterpieces.
Lovely Album. 'Four Seasons In One Day' is a masterpiece, Crowded House and Split Enz are wonderful.
A consistent album, nice to listen. It's a classic and never gets tiring.
