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 80.4/100, a mean average of 79.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.2.

It is great to see Hejira so highly ranked among Joni Mitchell's albums. It is a stunning album - hypnotic, compelling, and utterly original. Every time I play it, I get completely caught up in its stories, moods, and rhythms. A masterpiece!
An Ultimate Headphones Album. Just do it.
Truly an amazing journey.
A wonderful journey between the soft arrangements and the excellent songwriting. A mention for the young and unknown at that time Jaco Pastorius and Pat Metheny, they showcased their full potential with Joni.
Great voice, gentle singing and on this album she shifted to more enigmatic sounding instrumentals.

Love everything about thks album. Maybe just some of the lyrics don't interest me much but everything is still very poetic and original. Can't even try to duplicate the unique songwriting Joni had on this one. I don't really love other albums by her but this album grabbed me from the first listen and it is one of my all time favorite albums.

Great album overall, but coyote is an incredible song
For me this album was slow burner, sure some of the tracks are superb and some were average. But now i think with out doubt its one of her best albums.
