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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.9/100, a mean average of 73.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.7.

Cancion para mi muerte and Estacion are great, not much else to shout about. First track especially gives real Beatles (Abbey Road) vibes - love it

García, the Latin American lennon!!! This is Charly García`s debut as a composer. This album has adolescent melodies deeper than those of the beatles in their first stage, and adult songs full of existentialism.
"Canción para mi muerte", talks about death; "dime quien me lo robó" about teenage hopelessness, "Toma dos blues" has a classic blues rock influence; and "quizás porqué" it's a country rock piece about love, as beautiful than love beatles songs...You Must Listen it!!!

Un álbum precioso de folk argentino, perfecto para iniciarse con sui generis y Charly. Un clásico instantáneo y de escucha obligatoria para cualquier melomano sudamericano.

Canciones preferidas: cuando comenzamos a nacer, canción para mi muerte y dime quien me lo robó.

Terrible album que da pie a muchisimos otros albumes en la Argentina, ya que mezcla varios estilos de música. Aunque obviamente predomina el Folk, también hay algo de rock progresivo en "Dime Quien Me Lo Robo", y con "Toma Dos Blues" se recuerda al viejo y clasico blues de los años 50.
