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 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.4/100, a mean average of 73.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.5.

Overall. A fine representative of the early entry in the country-rock genre.

For the Flying Burrito Brothers' second album Bernie Leadon ( Eagles ) replaced Etheridge and third former Byrds man, Michael Clarke, became a permanent drummer in the band. On this album the role of Gram Parsons seems to be less dominant than on the debut, and the album is often considered a relative disappointment.
I'm not so sure this is really fair; though, admittedly there are a few pretty dull tracks on it. On the other hand there are some standouts like "Cody Cody" which is probably my alltime FBB favourite. This is the closest they get to the sound of the original Byrds; enjoy Hilmann's harmony vocals! Other great songs are Leadon's "God's Own Singer" and their version of "Wild Horses". The version of "Farther Along" is also fine, though it comes nowhere near the Byrds' version with Clarence White in the foreground.

El primer disco de los Flying Burrito Brothers (Gilded Palace Of Sin) es una obra de culto del country rock, pero mi favorito es el segundo álbum, Burrito Deluxe.

Not as great as the first album. Still, it's okay and another piece of the Gram Parsons puzzle.

Available as a single disc twofer with The Gilded Palace Of Sin. Both great records with great country rock songs.
