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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.0/100, a mean average of 70.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

There are glimpses where Denver will "light up your senses" (Annie's Song) but most of the record feels like you're kissing Aunt Lou. Eeu! (Grandpa's Feather Bed).

Career Highlight: Annie's Song
Gem: Matthew

It's a shame that Denver is often overlooked when people rank the greatest songwriters of all time. There aren't many singers out there with a songbook as great as his

Grandma's Feather Bed is one of the all time great songs.

As is Thank God I'm a Country Boy.
