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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 83.9/100, a mean average of 83.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.5.

Much more heavily produced than the other two albums, but still full of classics. Northern Sky is truly special, but the Hazy Janes and At The Chime of a City Clock are equal to many Five Leaves songs. It's only Poor Boy that feels a bit of a let down to me with its strange backing chorus that seems to belong to another artist.
This album is proof that Nick Drake's musical career is flawless. Despite it being considered Nick's "worst" album, all of the tracks on this album are still of great quality. It's often regarded as "overproduced" but the sound is truly perfect on tracks like City Clock and Northern Sky
Astonishing. How this man didn't get the accolades he deserved during his lifetime is beyond me. Such a shame.
My favorite Drake album.
This songwriter really knows how to make beatiful songs. Bryter Layter carries a sentiment of happiness and hope, and Nick Drake here seems confortable with the production around him. This is another masterful work on Nick's perfect discography.

Incredible album. Hazey Jane II is such an underrated song. Took me a while to get into but a very rewarding listen.
"For the sound of a busy place, is fine for a pretty face. Who knows what a face is for?" Not many songwriters can pose such poignant questions.
Just a great album by my favorite singer-songwriter.

My favourite Nick Drake album lyrically but least favourite musically.
OK I have relistened to it now and it's perfect.
