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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.0/100, a mean average of 74.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

Solid and lonely

Before people start thinking I'm totally daft, I should point out that the first two tracks on Jack Orion are totally killer. Wagoner's Lad is badass mountain folk that positively rocks. And The First Time I Ever Saw Her Face is a lovely country ballad with heart. I positively love those two songs. It's just the rest of the album that seems to be a bit lacking at least after the first few spins.

Let's get this out of the way right from the start. This is nowhere near as essential or awesome as his self-titled debut. That's not really too much a knock. I consider his debut one of the greatest albums of all time, and it could easily sit in my top 100. The guitar playing is awesome (of course), but the sound of the record all feels sort of samey and one-dimensional. Still you can tell that Jimmy Page used this album as a massive crib sheet, and since I'm a huge Zep fan that's really cool. It's certainly not a bad album. Just not one that gets me too excited.
I highly encourage fans of this album to show me the error of my ways!!!
Grade: C
Recorded before his stint in Pentangle this is a folk album. Most of the cuts are not written by Mr. Jansch but traditional in origin. A nice record when your in the mood for such music.
