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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.1/100, a mean average of 77.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

Ray Lamontagne's debut album is a great collection of acoustic based Americana. Incorporating folk, country and rock into something both beautiful and aching. Some great songs here; Hannah, forever my friend, and, jolene(no, not that one), are the best tracks here. The title song was a surprising hit, and Lamontagne has continued to make good albums since. Great record.

Hands down one of the best folk album I've listened to. I can't believe I didn't start listening to his music until a few days ago. Husband brought to my attention his newest album Ouroboros a few days ago, I enjoyed it instantly so I looked him up on Apple Music and downloaded this album. This is way better than Ouroboros.

I wasn't a big fan of "Trouble" when it came out, but I heard "Jolene" last week and was blown away..."Jolene" is a masterpiece, perfect arrangement, paints a vivid picture of addiction and lonliness, great vocals
