Rating metrics: Help 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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.5/100, a mean average of 74.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

Stephen Still showcases a lot of his influences on his debut album. There are hints of several genres varying from track to track. Although I've listened to this album several times now and haven't been able to make myself love it. There is an impressive collection of musicians featured on this album including Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Ringo Starr.

One of many classic albums from 1970. Stills' solo debut incorporates rock, folk, country, and, soul, and features a superb guest list including Jimi Hendrix. Love the one you're with, is easily the most famous song here, a glorious rock/soul number. Other standouts include, do for the others, church, and, we are not helpless. I actually prefer this album to the C,S&N records. Brilliant. (Edited)

Considering his work with CSNY I was very disappointed.

This man is the glue that holds Crosby Stills and Nash together, the other two gents write a little too sickly sentimentally for my taste, but when Stills brings his blues dimension (and a suggestion of country music) to proceedings they are the incredible unit we know and love, listen to this album to see just what that dimension is in isolation, and you'll have also discovered a small treasure (Edited)
