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 12% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.4/100, a mean average of 73.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.6.

Un disco casi desconocido, lo digo porque todo mundo conoce a Fleetwood Mac, sobre todo la época dorada con Lindsey Buckingham y Stevie Nicks en su formación, pero este disco no se conoce mucho, no porque no se sepa de su existencia, sino porque es difícil encontrar una copia original hoy en día, pero por fortuna fue reeditado y remasterizado en 2025 y así fue que por fin pude escucharlo por primera vez. Es un disco bastante decente, aunque carece de la magia que después harían con Fleetwood Mac, se puede notar ya desde aquí el talentoso guitarrista que era Lindsey, Stevie resulta un poco más tímida aquí, pero ya se notan ciertos matices de su gran voz en canciones como Crying In The Night. Un disco relajado con un sonido más apegado al folk, destaco de aquí canciones como la ya mencionada Crying In The Night, Races Are Run, Long Distance Winner, Don't Let Me Down Again, Frozen Love que cierra muy bien el disco, y la canción Crystal en su versión original, canción que regrabarían dos años después ya con Fleewood Mac, y a mi parecer, con mejores resultados.

Buckingham Nicks is the self-titled 1973 debut and only studio album by American rock duo Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. While initially a commercial failure, the record became the "audition tape" that led them to join Fleetwood Mac and change rock history.

I've had this album on MP3 and recently purchased the remastered on vinyl. It sounded great on my stereo system and I enjoyed having the information in the cover. I figured Lindsey was the one behind the music but didn't know Stevie was writing lyrics back then. I understand Fleetwood was at the studio when he first heard "Frozen Love" from this album. Good decision to include Stevie with Lindsey when offering them to join Fleetwood Mac. I guess the rest is history.

This album foreshadows the impact they would have on Fleetwood Mac.

If they rereleased this album, more people would be able to hear this long lost gem.

it's a shame this album has never been released on CD... i know that Stevie and Lindsey were talking about it years ago but couldn't agree on some aspect of the release. i'm still hoping that one day they'll decide to finally put it on CD, and in the meantime i'll cherish my vinyl copy :-)
