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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 75.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

Aunque quizás sea Goodbye Yellow Brick Road el disco más popular de Elton John, su segundo álbum es, al menos, tan brillante como aquel.
I feel like this album really captures the essence of Elton John's music: Beautiful, thoughtful and dramatic all at once. Some classic songs can be found here, but I prefer the complexity and depth from the lesser known tracks and B-sides.
Overall, an elegant and sensitive record from one of rock music's greatest.
Strong early release. Contains many gems - which are stand-outs in his large catalogue.
Elton John's second album is probably his most intimate of his early records. Predominately piano ballads with a sprinkling of orchestration, it's certainly not a rock'n'roll album. Some nice songs; obviously, your song, is one of Elton's most famous songs, a lovely track. Elsewhere, there's, take me to the pilot, border song, and the king must die. A good record.
Best Track: Border Song

Your Song may be one of the best songs I haven't heard in a long time...
A relatively forgotten classic. A few weak tracks, but so much beautiful music on here, Elton's debut would easily make my top 100. Highlights: "Sixty Years On," "King," "Border Song," and "Pilot. And, of course, "Your Song" is one of the prettiest love songs ever. Rating based on original release (without last three songs).
There are so many beautiful songs on this one.

I remember buying "Your Song" as a single in fall of 1970...it really blew me away, I think that it is still his best song.

Sir Elton started out strong. Best tracks: Your Song and Take Me to the Pilot. Get the expanded re-release that includes Bad Side of the Moon and Rock N Roll Madonna.
