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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.1/100, a mean average of 73.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

“Similar to Pieces of the Sky, this just works on pretty much every level. It's richer and more fun, but the songwriting is slightly worse (on the first listen, at least) scratch that, the second listen has proven this is definitely better than the predecessor. My perfect Emmylou album would be…”

“They are probably the most covered band in history. And it's always interesting to hear other artists interpret their music. So, here's a thread to drop your favorite (or at least most interesting) Beatles covers. I'll start here: Emmylou Harris Here, There And Everywhere From the album”

Los seis discos que Emmylou Harris grabó entre 1975 y 1980 son excelentes, pero quizás este sea mi favorito.

Not quite as brilliant as, pieces of the sky, but, elite hotel, is still another lovely Emmylou Harris record. As always with Harris, there are some great songs including, together again, sweet dreams, and another beautiful Lennon-McCartney cover in, here,there and everywhere. Great stuff.

Another early masterpiece from Ms. Harris. Her beautiful voice, simple arrangements and a light touch on production make this record a standout. Highly recommended.

A masterpiece from one of the greatest singers ever. Sweet Dreams & Sin City were standouts for me.
