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 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.4/100, a mean average of 72.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.5.

A singer-songwriter sings songs of a singer-songwriter, what can you expect, pretty pleasant and solid work.

This album rules! I love Newman as a songwriter, but his voice is definitely an acquired taste, so to be able to experience his ample talents with an absolute powerhouse vocalist like Nilsson taking over the singing is an absolute delight. Some of the songs here have their definitive versions on this record. Awesome and underrated.

Jeez, what a surprise. This is like magic. Has anyone ever sung any better than Harry Nilsson?
Harry Nilsson has one of the greatest pop voices of all time. A wonderful record with great arrangements and musicianship.
Sharp writing and traditional piano from Newman provides the perfect stage for Nilsson to demonstrate his vocal virtuosity.
