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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 74.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

Her forth album following a fine list of great records. This record contains outstanding interpretations of Pancho & Lefty and You Never Can Tell. The other tracks ain't shabby either. A solid collection of songs. (Edited)

Not quite as good as, pieces of the sky, or, elite hotel, luxury liner, is still another enjoyable Emmylou Harris album. Some excellent songs from the likes of Gram Parsons, Townes Van Zandt, and Chuck Berry. The highlight for me is actually one of the bonus tracks on the CD version with a superb take on Laurie Hyde-Smith's, me and Willie. Great track. Enjoyable album, as always. (Edited)
