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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 75.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

Even the Beatles were not as Beatle-esque as this singer songwriter but that doesn't mean I didn't like the album. It is really good and all the songs have that bit extra-quality.
Emitt Rhodes' second album from late 1970 is undoubtedly his strongest. The album was released on ABC Records, and Rhodes had recently had a nice hit with the single "Fresh said Daisy." His former record company AM Records took the renewed interest in Rhodes to re-release his first album "The American Dream". This coincidence, with two simultaneous releases in Rhodes' name, meant some confusion among buyers of his music, and his new self-titled album did not sell as well as expected - and deserved.
Nevertheless it is still a milestone in American power-pop. Almost exclusively consisting of well-constructed pop songs in catchy arrangements. Hard to bring forward specific songs since most of them are really great. Still besides the catchy single "Fresh as a Daisy," "Live Till You Die," "Ever Find Yourself Running" or "You Should Be Ashamed" (along with a handful more) all have what a good popsong needs. The short "Lullabye" is another of my favorites.
Rhodes wrote all the songs, played all instruments and co-produced the album; so this is indeed is a solo album. Unfortunately pressure from the company, meant that Rhodes was not given the neccesary time to come up with an equally strong successor, and though his next album "Mirror" has its moments, it never comes close to matching this perfect power-pop album.
The album that Paul McCartney should have done after The Beatles´ break up.

really good album, lost in time, but worth a listen.
