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 77.7/100, a mean average of 77.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.9.

A big album that rocks way harder than Eagles, which definitely belongs to the same genre of bands

Manassas is a tight band, and a great avenue for Stephen Stills' ambition. He showcases his range better here than on his solo records. Lots of great material make this a worthy double album.

Fantastic album. Incredible songwriting. In fact, these guys were so good that Bill Wyman (he appears on "Love Gangster") was ready to leave the Stones to join them. This one ranks in my top ten double albums. Yes, it's that good!

Fave tracks:

So Begins The Task
Johnny's Garden
Move Around
It Doesn't Matter
Both of Us (Bound to Lose)
Colorado

Get it in your collection!

If you like Stephen Still's first 2 solo albums then this is worth a listen too.

This is a journey through several musical genres, rock,blues, country, bluegrass. A very competent band delivers a smooth collection of songs gliding into each other with nerve, inspiration and feel. Not a boring second!
Stephan Stills was never able to top this.
