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 has a Bayesian average rating of 73.2/100, a mean average of 71.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

Doesn't get the run it deserves because of the genre. That's too bad since this is a great CD, not just a great "country" CD.
Done with an American country twang, so it'll never get the recognition it deserves. That's unfortunate, because this is a masterpiece.

Doesn't matter if it's country or any other genre, this is songwriting at its best. He's labeled country so he doesn't get respect by those who don't like the genre but country itself doesn't pay attention to the real outlaws either. One of the more underrated artists of his generation.
One of the only straight-up country albums I've ever enjoyed. Most country music rubs me the wrong way, but this album rarely does, and most of the songs have a lot of depth and brilliance.

Most have heard “Set Em Up Joe”. If your into country this is a really great album. I picture myself sitting in a bar tapping my foot listening to Jamey croon.
