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 69.9/100, a mean average of 67.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

The influence that this record would have on later artists is very clear but the music itself doesn't really hold up. The record feels very bare and not a lot really happens on most of the songs. There is only a couple of tracks that I would pick out and listen to again after this record and most of the other ones are pretty pointless. It is just quite a boring release and it is very hard to stay focused on the album. It isn't because it is just him and a guitar either because that has been done before on a record to a very interesting and entertaining degree but on here it just doesn't click for me. However, the way he plays guitar is very impressive as you can tell he has a very soft and smooth approach to playing his music. Overall, an influential album doesn't always mean it is good and I think this is one of those records as there is no reason to really revisit this release for me.

Not sure the songs ultimately hold together as an album, but the influence on many of my favorite artists is obvious.
