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 77.5/100, a mean average of 82.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.5.

One of Guy Clark s finest records. Clark is a top tier songwriter. This one holds back on the production, keeping it light and acoustic, with a few touches to keep the beat. Clark re-records The Randall Knife from an earlier album here. The Cape is co-credited to his wife, Susanna, who was also an artist and songwriter. You can learn more about the Clarks and fellow songwriter Townes Van Zandt in the documentary Without Getting Killed or Caught.
Essential.
Condensed to a 7" Single:
A-Side: Hanging Your Life on the Wall
B-Side: Dublin Blues

Another good one by Guy Clark although it does not come near his two early masterpieces.
