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 73.4/100, a mean average of 70.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.8.

I agree with the previous comments but I also love their version of Romeo & Juliet plus Joking, Virginia Woolf, Chicken Man,Cedar Tree & Ghost. Well that just about covers the whole album. Fabulous stuff!

Until this album Amy Ray may have been a little in the shadow of Emily Saliers, when it came to songwriting. It's beyond question that Ray adds a lot of edge (necessary) to the sound of the Indigo Girls; but with songs like "Three Hits", "Jonas and Ezekial" and "Nashville" Amy's songwriting is also beginning to catch up with Emily's.
In fact, I think that several of Emily's songs on this album are harder to get into than hers usually are. My favourite Emily songs here are "Galileo", "Let it Be Me" and "Airplane".
This is one the most consistent Indigo Girls albums, and one of my favourites!
Once again the girls are supported famous friends such as Benmont Tench, Jackson Browne, David Crosby and regulars Sara Lee, Lisa Germano and Jerry Marotta.
