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 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.3/100, a mean average of 72.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.4.

Browne's fans can't avoid this album. It may not be as powerful as his classics, but it's a lovely album, with a first half which has lyrics remembering a little of his classic albums and a more political second half with a moving title track. Good folk-country rock songs all throughout.
Jackson Browne's most personal and most melodic album in years, one that signifies a (for the most part) break from political activism and instead offers more introspective lyrical themes reminiscent of his early albums.
