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 80.9/100, a mean average of 80.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

A well-produced and well performed album of quirky pseudo-mainstream songs. 9/10.
This type of music is not really my cup of tea. Highlights for me were Jawbone and Across The Great Divide.

Completely agree with Untitled’s review below.
This record has some outstanding musical moments and might be superior to their debut in terms of the depth of their instrumentation but it just isn't as consistent or cohesive. There are only 5 or 6 songs that are really worth listening to with 4 of them being elite. These 4 songs are The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, Up On Cripple Creek and the opening and closing tracks. The rest of the songs you could argue are skippable and while some will appeal to you the rest will just feel a bit empty. Overall, they aren't as consistent or focused on here as they are on their debut but there is some beautiful instrumental work so it is well worth a listen.
Want to transport yourself to another era? Listen to this album. It is so quintessentially Americana and evokes feelings of nostalgia. Absolutely joyous and one of my favorites. 100/100.
There are some decent tracks like The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, but overall Music From Big Pink is much better and most of the tracks doesn't even come close.
There are some terrific tracks and musical moments, but we know that Pink Pink is just more composed and better structured.
great music
One of the most essential albums. Every music lover should give this a try no matter which genre is your favorite.

Delícia de álbum. Dá para ouvi-lo várias e várias vezes. Percebi várias coisas que seriam incorporados no soft rock vindouro.
