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 72.6/100, a mean average of 71.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.6.

Stills was moving toward the very 70s "yacht rock" (I don't mean it as an insult, just a description) of 77's CSN, while Young was still working in a more rootsy vein, like the four-chord thrashing around of Zuma and Stars and Bars. It doesn't quite mesh together, and there are some throwaway tracks, but it's all quite pleasant. The title track, written to the memory of his first car, is a gem of a song and a Neil Young classic. Black Coral is, for me, Stills' best here, it's got that smooth yacht groove of the (cool, but uneven) CSN album, where it would have been one of the better songs if he had put it there. Overall, the album achieves what I think they were going for: it's good background music for an evening with friends when the classic rock is flowing. (Edited)
Somethings can't be explained - I love this album; always have. Long May You Run; Midnight On The Bay; Fountainebleau hit me in a sweet spot.
Fontainebleu is the boss track! Classic electric Young.
Most of the rest is a bit meh (with a couple of exceptions from Stills).
Best Track: Long May You Run
Good but it's clear that Stills and Young are on diverging paths musically. This album feels like two in one; it's obvious with in 10 seconds who wrote what song. This cause the listener to feel dragged between the contrasting styles.
That being said the song writing is strong enough throughout to over come the lack of a coherent vision.
Best songs are black coral for Stills and long may you run for Young. (Edited)
