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 71.6/100, a mean average of 71.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.9.

Disc 1 is brilliant, but a few songs into disc 2, I start losing interest.

Yes, this is a lot of songs. And John Prine is worth every one of them. This anthology covers his career through folk, country, rock, country rock, some really funny songs, and a lot of really great songs. Prine is one of America's great songwriters. His early material is well represented, and the best songs from his weaker later albums are well represented. If you're a fan of Prine's, this is a great compilation to have. If you're not, this is a great place to start.
Download "Sam Stone" or "Hello In There." If you like them, this will astonish you (as will the collection by Prine's closest friend and sometime collaborator, Steve Goodman, "No Big Surprise.")
If you don't like what you hear, skip this.
