Rating metrics: Help 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 21% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 71.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.0.

The tracks Razor Love, Horseshoe Man and Silver & Gold are stunning pieces of work and amongst his very best. I really like the album, it's a great listen, one for those real chill out moments.

Not too bad. Far preferable to pretty much any of Neil Young's 80s stuff.

Neil's twenty-sixth studio album, and the first after a career-longest 4 year break. He used the time wisely apparently, as this was as strong a record as post Harvest Moon Neil would put out.

This was also Neil looking backward, reliving his years with Buffalo Springfield and even recording some songs that he had written decades prior.

I remember being crazy excited for this one, as during the mid to late 90's I was on a serious Neil binge, and had read about these songs for years before actually hearing them. And happily, they lived up to the hype.
