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 73.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.6.

By far my favorite songwriter of all time. With amazing ability to write lyrics that aren't trite, but completely other-worldly and eternal. And at the same time, inventing melodies that are original, and natural, and beautiful.
There's a reason Townes rerecorded most of these songs on other albums. It was a bit of stumble out of the gate but hes still an incredible songwriter.
Fails to ever take off which makes Talkin' Karate Blues the strongest track because of it's comic value.
