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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.2/100, a mean average of 77.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.7.

Phases and Stages is Willie Nelson's masterpiece and his finest collection and presentation of original songs.

This concept album, organized around the loose theme of the "phases and stages" of a painful divorce, is probably the most artistically ambitious project of Willie Nelson's career. Several tracks are continuations of the album's titular song, which gives the album a feeling of simultaneous continuity and fragmentation--perhaps not unlike the incongruous feelings associated with divorce itself. The sad and empathic "Washing the Dishes" tells the story from the ex-wife's point of view, and shows the incredible emotional range that has always set Willie apart from his peers in the Nashville country music scene.

A very personal album during Willie Nelson's peak period.
