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)

"I want to do right, but not right now," proclaims the narrator of "Look at Miss Ohio," the brilliant opening track to this fine album, alluding to the playful rebelliousness that defines a number of the tracks here. The approach Gillian Welch and musical partner David Rawlings bring to the material on Soul Journey feels crafted for private enjoyment rather than public consumption, and the end result is not only Welch's most personal work to date but one of her most emotionally satisfying as well.
"Time (The Revelator)" is usually considered Gillian's best album, and objectively speaking I can't argue that it's at least as good as this one, but I like Soul Journey a tiny bit better. This albums has several of my all time favorite songs, the ones I constantly catch myself singing in the shower or while walking.
