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 has a Bayesian average rating of 69.8/100, a mean average of 68.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

The beginning of a fine career, solid and solemn songwriting and singing
Eh, it's his first and not his finest. Has it's moments of being quite lovely but overall can be safely overlooked.

She's Got A Way, Everybody Loves You Now and Why Judy Why are really good the rest of the album is at least decent. Billy proved from the beginning he can write great songs.
Best Track: Everybody Loves You Now
Few albums move me as deeply as this one.
His voice on this album is so pure, and so is the album.
