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 84.1/100, a mean average of 83.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

Side A hits hard, but I'm not quite as into the slower second side.

Há muito sofrimento mascarado de deboismo! Excelente!
Neil Young's best, if you ask me. On the Beach contains Neil Young's most interesting instrumentation on a record, his best songwriting and performances, and not one good song, because they're all great. He nailed it with this one.
Highlights see the sky,on the beach and ambulance.A more melancholic album.
A dark and beautiful album. I have to be in a certain mood to be able to listen to this it, but when I am in the right mood there is nothing better. Its such a breezy listen, but one of Neil's best albums. See the Sky About to Rain might be my all time favorite Neil Young song.
Dark and lovely.
A dark, laid back, restrained and angry masterpiece which finds Neil Young at his peak
Favorite Tracks:See The Sky About To Rain, Revolution Blues, Vampire Blues, On The Beach, Ambulance Blues
Another really good Neil Young album. Standouts: Walk On, Ambulance Blues.

Just finished Neil Young's Ditch Trilogy and I'd rank them as thus
1. 'Tonight's the Night'( something dark and special about this one)
2. 'On the Beach'(Lyrically the superior album of the 3 with commentary about oil company's , lovers , Nixon and career just to name a few)
3.'Time Fades Away' ( A live album of new material just doesn't work)
