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 72.2/100, a mean average of 70.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

All of the little flaws Ragged Glory has are omnipresent on Broken Arrow. The songs are long, rambling, and incoherent and they routinely fall apart about halfway through. That being said, it is far from the worst Neil Young has put out.

Not good but somethings wrong with vocal
This is a great album with some classic Crazy Horse numbers like Loose Change and Slip Away and Big Time, probably the best song on the album. It's also got an amazing Neil Young ballad called Music Arcade that is a stunner.
I heard all of these songs played for the first time in a small bar called Old Princeton Landing in Half Moon Bay so yes, they mean a lot to me due to that experience, but the songs stand the test all on their own. Should be much higher on this list.
