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 21% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.8/100, a mean average of 72.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

This album wasn’t really the Bee Gees’ First - two albums with the three Gibb brothers had been previously released in Australia. “The Bee Gees 1st” was their first internationally released album, and the first to come out after their return to Britain.
Musically it’s one of their most succesfull early albums. There is a great basic approach that ofter was lost on their following albums, where the ballads often suffered from heavy orchestration.
Moreover the songwriting on this album is consistently of high standards. Three of their finest singles “New York Mining Disaster”, “Holiday” and “To Love Somebody” is featured here along with other great tracks like “Red Chair Fade Away”, “I Can’t See Nobody” and “Cucumber Castle”. In fact, there are no throwaways on the albums, and the Bee Gees really do sound like a band on this album.
On the new digitally remastered version the sound is crystal-clear, and it a great pleasure to listen to these old songs again. The second CD features alternate versions of many of the songs, and several are at least as good as the originally released versions. I especially like “One Minute Woman” - which has only the basic band instrumentation. A couple of the previously unreleased songs are quite good too - “Gilbert Street” is one.

De todos los discos de los Bee Gees, este es el que contiene un mayor número de mis canciones favoritas.
It seems many of those visiting this site were first introduced to the Bee Gees from their disco days. This album charted in the Top Ten in both the U.K. and the U.S. in 1967. A few of us are still around that remember the group as they burst on to the scene during the Summer of Love. The group is not in the tainted RRHOF for "Stayin' Alive" By the time the band scored their first #1 single "Massachusetts", released on their next LP "Horizontal", the lads had been at it for 10 years.
Before the high pitched squeals, the Bee Gees had some great, pretty songs.
Most people are familiar with the Bee Gees from the seventies and Saturday Night Fever. This album is very different but it is a very good debut and completely different from the songs of the seventies.
