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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.9/100, a mean average of 71.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

Out of all the misfit artists in the "great credibility scare," Mary Chapin-Carpenter was by far the most successful. Steve Earle, Nanci Griffith and Lyle Lovett had mild success in the country market after being signed in the mid-80s. But Chapin-Carpenter scored major success, especially with Come On Come On, her fourth album. This one netted a rediculous seven hit singles. Perhaps only Garth Brooks' No Fences LP could rival this country counterpart to Michael Jackson's Thriller rerecord.
This record was a massive success, with an astonishing seven Top 20 singles. A nice change of pace is the inclusion of two covers: Lucinda Williams' seminal "Passionate Kisses" and the oddball but suitable "The Bug" by Dire Straits.
Essential.
A Side: He Thinks He'll Keep Her
B Side: Passionate Kisses
Mary's best album. Great tracks including The Hard Way,He Thinks He'll Keep Her,Passionate Kisses & I Take My Chances.
