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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 81.6/100, a mean average of 82.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.7.

Every song on this album is an absolute gem. It seems that no matter what mood I am in, this music seems to accompany it well. What a tragedy that this man didn't have the opportunity to make more music.

Along with James Taylor, this album is a testament to how great the singer/songwriter tradition blossomed in the 70s. Jim Croce was a leader among the resurgence of that craft and compiling all his greatest hits in one package is a beautiful piece of memorablia.
Awesome CD from one of the best artists of the early 70's. All of Croce's best stuff is here - a great way to discover the man's talent.
Great songs. Just guitar and a great voice.
