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 73.1/100, a mean average of 72.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

This album was very disappointing on the heels of two very good albums with the Cardinals. All these songs are pleasant enough, but not a track stands out. How did this happen?
One of Ryan Adams strongest and mosr consistent LP's. Some of his best writing is here, especially on, strawberry wine, Carolina rain, and, the sadness. A good album.

One of Adams' better and least appreciated albums...dark, moody, and full of traditional folk strains and bends...wonderful work...

Kind of boring
