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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.8/100, a mean average of 75.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

Really exceptional debut by Springsteen; stands up there with his best material from the mid/late '70s and early '80s.

The Boss comes fully formed, and this is maybe his eighth or ninth best regarded album. King shit.

It's amusing that Springsteen was intially marketed as the next Bob Dylan when he sounds way more like Van Morrison. This is an incredible debut, split between tender folky ballads and ensemble-driven anthems. Bruce crams in more words than a High School student writing a paper that's due the next morning, with a long list of down and out characters.

Highly recommended.

Took me a while to get in to the first Bruce record
Feels like he was still searching for his own musical style/ direction
Growing up, spirit and Saint are amazing
But the start of greater things to come ...
