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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 73.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

Beautiful. Western Sky, Blue and Gray Shirt and Last Harbour up there with Eitzel's greatest songs.

California - American Music Club - 1988 - #629 in 1001 Albums project,
A fairly interesting album with country vibes and very sad tones overall.

a beautiful album spoilt by one track which is out of place with the mood of the rest of the album

thanks for the comments on my list. California is definitely on my list of next to acquire.
Would have been a perfect score if it wasn't for Bad Liquor!
