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 81.2/100, a mean average of 80.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

Great debut. In my opinion, these guys are the Kings of Harmony. Couple of tracks are the predominant standouts. Some filler. They got better with 'Deja Vu'.

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.

Not my kind of music, but I really enjoyed some parts of this album. The biggest standout for me is Wooden Ships.

Clásico irrepetible. Con este álbum Crosby, Stills y Nash sentaron cátedra. Hasta el irregular David Crosby está inspirado.

Some great songs but the harmonies and vocals are too smooth at places.
Good for a background listen during an evening sitting with friends and many bottles of wine.

It's not a grand as Deja Vu, but all of their material is worth listening to.

A couple of all-time great songs with a strong supporting cast of tuneful tracks.
