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 12% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.8/100, a mean average of 74.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

I think this is a top 5 solo Beatles record. It's great from top to bottom.

An excellent album. Probably his 2nd best album after All things must pass. Hugely enjoyable with great hooks and songs you remember.

"Cloud nine" è, per me, il più bel disco di George Harrison. No, non uno dei migliori, ma IL migliore: non c'è "All things must pass" che tenga, per me, "Cloud nine" ha una sequenza di canzoni nettamente superiore ed un suono asciutto, rotondo e colorato. Aggiungo poi anche un'altra cosa: il singolo "When we was fab" è la più grande canzone di George Harrison, contando nella competizione pure le varie "Something", "Here comes the sun", "While my guitar gently weeps" e capolavori assortiti. "When we was fab" contiene tutto George Harrison: le melodie costruite su accordi strani, la musica indiana, i giochi di parole, il violoncello tanto caro al suo ex compagno John Lennon, Ringo alla batteria, le chitarre, compresa quella dell'amico Clapton.

IMO one of the best GH albums and definitively the one I listen to the most.
Clapton's work through the record is brillant.

Very very good.

One of George Harrison's most successful albums. Cloud nine, was perfect for the time, although the Jeff Lynne production sounds a little dated now. Still, some good songs in, if that's what it takes, when we was fab, and the massive hit single, got my mind set on you. Enjoyable, albeit slightly safe album.

There's nothing wrong with this, it's just all sounds a bit safe and uninspiring for me, Got My Mind Set On You apart.

Like his use of saxophone's. This Is Love, When We Was Fab, and Got My Mind Set On You are great songwriting... the rest is a bit lackluster. Breath Away From Heaven was ok.
