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 has a Bayesian average rating of 68.4/100, a mean average of 67.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.8.

Groovy, dude! This sophomore LP is stuffed with long jams, which rob the LP of providing strong material like the kind found on the debut. The band were either trying to ride the popular wave of extended jams or trying to find their own sound. Big disappointment after the excellent debut, but the playing itself is pretty decent if you can dig it. Jim Messina would record one more live album before he left the band.

Listen for Rusty Young's pedal steel playing. He plays it through a Leslie speaker and manages to make it sound like an electric organ. Pretty damn cool.

AVERAGE

RICHIE FURAY: Keep on Believin' (Sounds like a re-recording of their single My Kind of Love)

The concluding track, nobody’s fool is epic.

Fans of the early Poco sound would probably direct your attention to this album or their debut. This one is twangy groovy and even a little funky (see the side-long last track). It's fun stuff when it works and if you listen long enough it's not bad.
