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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.8/100, a mean average of 74.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.1.

barely audible whispered folk songs
run of the mill folk-pop rock mix popular at the time
A very different affair to his earlier work, Goodbye and Hello being one of my all time favourite albums. This though makes its own impression, a very upbeat funky listen. Great interplay between vocal and organ on 'Get On Top'. 'Sweet Surrender' is a personal favourite.

Best blues rock LP of 1972.

His funkiest, more accessible & my favorite Buckley album. A must listen.
For those that have heard the sexiness of this 70's classic it's brilliant. Tim Buckley had many styles but this was a long way from his early folk days

I have my difficulties with the opener. But after that, it's an absolutely brilliant piece of feverish funky blues.
