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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 81.1/100, a mean average of 80.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

What an incendiary listen. It’s as much a great album as it is a blueprint to the present and nearly next decade of popular music. In this record I hear influence on Yes, Genesis, Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, Steve Miller.... the list could go on.

This is a great album held up by the pillar of sound crafted by those damn harmonies, and lets not forget some memorable melodies and thought-provoking lyrical content. (Edited)

Brilliant album! Obviously Judy is the best track but Wooden Ships, Helplessly Hoping and Long Time Gone are not far behind. Pretty flawless (Edited)

I've never had a more defining musical experience like the first time I heard the harmonies on Suite:Judy Blue Eyes (Edited)

There is some beautiful instrumentation on this record that does a great job of creating a soothing and calming atmosphere that is so enjoyable to experience. It is nice to be able to see the combination of these 3 artists on one release and they all are such brilliant instrumentalists and vocalists. They also write some amazing songs on here such as the opening track which is phenomenal. Overall, an elegant and enjoyable listen that might not blow everyone away but it is sure a smooth and relaxing ride. (Edited)

Debut album from CS&N, it's an excellent acoustic based record featuring some fine songs. David Crosby contributes the haunting, Guinnevere, and, wooden ships, while Stephen Stills gives us opener, suite:Judy blue eyes, and the lovely, helplessly hoping, and Graham Nash's, Marrakech express, is another highlight. This is certainly their best LP as a trio. Great late sixties laurel canyon rock. (Edited)
