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 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 72.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

Lackluster uninspired release. Not sure if there were any classics associated with the release but I don't think so. Probably won't listen to it again as there are so many other great NY listens.

Não está entro os melhores, mas passa longe dos piores. Algumas belas pérolas!
I agree, it sounds like his well known two acoustic folk albums, though it isn't as brilliant as they were. Best tracks for me are The Painter and Here for You while otheres like the last two I don't like and many are just fine. Still, it's a nice album to listen.

An acoustic based album recorded in Nashville has a similar sound to Harvest & Harvest Moon. Best tracks The Painter, Here For You, the title track and Falling.....the final track is both a bit corny and serious at the same time.
