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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 83.8/100, a mean average of 82.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

Jeff Buckley (Grace - USA - Aug 94) - Grace

23.08.1994

The Paul Scholes of 90s music (underrated, it then became slightly overrated, before being re-evaluated). Haunts at times, like Bill Crouse.

A hauntingly beautiful recording that on several occasions feels spiritual. An angelic voice leaving its testimony before leaving us far too soon. I only skip "eternal life" as it's so out of place and IMO isn't consistent with the rest of the album.

An amazing album. Only drawback is tracks 8-10 feel disconnected and not very well tied in to the rest. "Lover, You Should Have Come Over" is an amazing emotional peak. "Eternal Life" is a stampeding, grunge-esque testimony against hate and murder, albeit not quite fitting the album's narrative. Jeff Buckley hits it out of the park with his first and regrettably only release.

Beautiful voice, some production risks have been taken and most of them paid off, wonderful mixture of post-rock with folk and singer-songwriter music. Hallelujah is a stunning cover, better than original. my favorites also include Grace, Last Goodbye, Dream Brother and Lover You Should've Come Over. Corpus Christi Carol and Eternal Life feel like they're out of place here, but overall amazing album (also additional track Forget Her is really worth checking out).

Il disco del MIGLIOR CANTANTE che la musica rock abbia mai visto, una voce che anche stando a basso regime è in grado di far tremare i muri. Difficilmente un disco che contiene tre cover viene considerato così, ma questo non è il caso di Grace...queste tre tracce sono state completamente ridisegnate da Jeff e la sua fantastica band per diventare brani suoi a tutti gli effetti. Per non parlare della Telecaster...quel maledetto suono di Telecaster che mai più nella storia si fonderà con una voce così unica.

Stunning. Stark. Heartbreaking. It is unbelievable that Grace is a debut album as Buckley sounds so mature and cultured as if he had been around for decades plying his trade. The album takes huge risks too and they always pay off. One of the greatest.

A beautiful album but some of the songs have some compositions choices that are not my favorite style choices, sudden changes in volume and tone. Buckley's voice is fantastic but in some songs the vocal acrobatics are a bit baffling and almost go over the top. The album also is not totally consistent in mood (eg Eternal Life is a song like from a different album)

As everyone, I LOVE the vocal performance on this album...but the musical decisions are jarring. Just when I'm in a blissful state listening to this angel sing, along comes this clamorous music and, I hate to say, ruins the song. Only a few exceptions to this. Yet my rating is still a 85/100 because of that amazing vocal performance.
