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 is rated in the top 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.9/100, a mean average of 76.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.5.

“You know there's a bit of this I really liked. I heard some CSNY or Lovin' Spoonful or Allman Brothers all kinda mixed together here. There were moments were I was like I could see me really digging this as much as I do those artists. But I didn't. In fairness the "youtube" playlist I found was…”

Their first and best effort remains also one of the best albums of late 60's.

Stunningly crisp psychedelic rock out of San Fran. Some of the cleanest instrumentals that you can find from the era appear on this album. Very nice-sounding and well-recorded on the whole. The vocals, while passionate, lack some of the coolness that I enjoy about the instruments. One of the best guitar showcases that there is.

This isn't the only album that I underrate every second I'm not listening to it and adore every second I am listening, but it might be the best in that set. It's perfect.

Highlight is Skip Spence's "Omaha". The playing and songwriting are equally wonderful. Shout-out to Rolling Stone for digging up this album and encouraging people to listen to it.

I never owned this until this year. It is a better album than Buffalo Springfield Again which is saying something. I can't believe I missed this group when I was in my teens but the good part is that it now gives me something "new" to enjoy and explore.
