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 67.9/100, a mean average of 64.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

Neil Young shows he can still rock and write songs relevant to the current cultural climate. That said, probably not gonna to ever listen to this if I want some Neil Young; it's simple and musically dated at times compared to his classic stuff. (Edited)
Neil back on good form. Not a classic album but enough here for any Neil fan to get their teeth into. Good album (Edited)
