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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.7/100, a mean average of 76.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

Often overlooked, the album isn’t really referenced in the films and biopics. I guess Dylan’s story works better when he goes straight from protest songs to electric. It adds certainty and a clean break. Life doesn’t necessarily work that way.

This album is a snapshot of the artist looking for an exit strategy and, until the Beatles later albums at least, you would be hard pressed to find an album with a greater contrast between the below par songs and, in equal measure the works of cold hearted genius.

Último disco acústico de Dylan en su primera etapa y, para mí, uno de los mejores.

Despite Dylan's claims that the title is meaningless, Another Side of Bob Dylan really does showcase him writing more personal lyrics rather than completely socially conscious, which of course he would explore more in depth in the years to come. Overall, this is a really pleasant album and it's nice to take a break from the protest ballads that plagued his previous record.

#5 on my list of best Dylan records. A more personal and less political album than it's predecessor. Notable tracks: Black Crow Blues, It Ain't Me Babe, To Ramona, My Back Pages, Chimes of Freedom.

I live this album, and mostly because of the humour. Tracks like Motorpsycho Nitemare make me laugh out loud, while It Ain't Me Babe and Chimes of Freedom beat anything on Times.

Bob Dylan at one of his last traditional folk albums, still manages to pull out consistent tracks but not one that really makes the cut like a "The Times They Are A-Changing"

In questo disco Bob ride, sbaglia, tira su col naso, tanto per dimostrare che il serioso folksinger di appena qualche mese prima rifletteva solo un aspetto della sua arte. Solo un altro lato della sua personalità, per l'appunto...

Bob Dylan stays conservatively in his comfort zone but excels there.
