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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 84.3/100, a mean average of 83.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.1.

This album has some of the best work from Crazy Horse with them really shining on the longer songs with the peak for me being on Down By The River. Neil Young is great as always but I do think he has sounded better on other releases with this feeling quite raw and rough at times. This can make this a more difficult listen than his smoother records he released in the 70's which flow so much better. Despite this, it does make it an interesting listen and is a huge moment in the history of Neil Young so it is important to listen to this album. Overall, this isn't the first Young album I am going to reach for when I go to play one of his releases and it isn't his best in terms of quality either but it does have its moments where it shines and is well worth a listen.

Superb album. Down by the River has to be my favourite, that said the title track, Cowgirl in the Sand and Cinnamon Girl are excellent. Chilled out rock.

I love this album. Cinnamon Girl, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere and especially Down By The River are great. The rest is good at least. Perfect album for me.

Neil Young has the discography that is maybe the most polarized of any historically significant artist. There is a ton to unpack with each record, and every one almost seems reliant on a preference of flavor. This is not my favorite Young, but I could believe there are people out there that put this record above any other material by anyone.

Todos se curvam diante de Neil. Nesse álbum eternizou a lenda! Guitarra perfeita, voz calma e precisa, country, folk e psicodélico que fala com a alma.

This is where Neil Young found his footing after Buffalo Springfield. The songwriting is a lot stronger than his debut, and having a backing band really brings out the heavier moments on the record. The solo on Cowgirl in the Sand is great. Cinnamon Girl is one of his catchiest songs and still holds up fairly well among his later hits.
