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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.2/100, a mean average of 73.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.3.

Maybe its because this was my introduction to the magnificent Jayhawks but I think it's their best album. Dying On The Vine is one of many brilliant tracks
When I first heard this album, I was impressed with all the arrangements. Swirling distorted guitars interweaving over "Beachboys" inspired harmonies. The song writing is solid, Every song has an accessibility ala The Beatles. My favourites are Haywire, Trouble and The Man Who Loved Life. However I can honestly say there are no bad songs on this album. This album, to me is their best work. "Smile" which came after this seems forced and over produced. But this album is a cohesive piece of work. I still play it regularly to this day.
For me, this is their best album. Clearly underrated, maybe because their audience didn't expect these country-rock masters to include psychedelic rock influences. It has a strong "feeling" from Louris' vocals and guitars and Grotberg's keyboards, maybe due to the leaving of Olson. The best example is "Trouble", possibly their best song. Don't throw away their last songs; they may seem strange but you end up liking them as much (or more) as their first more single-type songs.
