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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.2/100, a mean average of 76.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

Definitely sounds young here, but it's still unmistakably Johnny Cash.

You can listen to Old Man Cash singing Nine Inch Nails all you want, but he was never as crackling as he was with the Sun studio backing musicians. Supposedly this was the first 12" Sun Records ever released. It must have been revolutionary in its time.

By far, his best and most dynamic studio album.

The Man in Black on his debut, such a good solid album with two absolute classics.

Best tracks: I Walk the Line, Folsom Prison Blues, Cry Cry Cry, The Wreck of Old '97, So Doggone Lonesome.

I have this as the Best Country Album of 1957.

A classic country premier, not innovative but very well done.

A boom-chicka-boom masterpiece, I love this debut album by Johnny Cash, his singing tells a story, and for me this is the best album that I heard from the 50s.

A great record. The man was not only a poet but he could swing. One of the best albums of the decade.

Some of the greatest songs of the 1950's right here. Rock Island Line, I Walk the Line, Cry, Cry, Cry, and of course Folsom Prison blues. These songs alone pretty much enshrined enshrined Cash's reputation in stone forever.

Wow, it's the first time I'm listening to a full album by johnny cash. I've heard a lot about him and I've heard some songs by him but I didn't think he can be that good.
