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 72.5/100, a mean average of 72.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.1.

JT is one of JT's better albums. The acoustic songs are excellent. As usual, though, when he tries to be funny (Traffic Jam) or a rock and roller (Honey Don't Leave LA), he is just annoying.

Solid and beautiful album from kA very easy listening kind of stuff, lacks some edge, but suitable for lazy afteroons.
JT seems like a bit of a mixture of the great singer-songwriter James Taylor from the early 70s with the soft rock James Taylor from the mid 70s. Like most Taylor records its an easy listen. Some of the arrangements are a bit more elaborate at times than you'd maybe expect from him, but he has some more simple moments as well. A pleasant record from start to finish.
A solid album from James Taylor and his best one since Mud Slide Slim, songs like Your Smiling Face and Handy Man would have enhanced the extremely popular Greatest Hits album from the previous year, had they been released in time.
Secret O' Life is a classic but There We Are is probably my favourite track here, quite a heartfelt love song which even mentions Carly Simon by name, it is perhaps a side to James Taylor that often faces criticism, it is often a thin line where things can slip into twee sentimentalism, but this is a great song nevertheless.

Not on par with his earlier work, but still pleasant.
