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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.9/100, a mean average of 78.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.9.

Good album that sags a little bit in the second half with some so-so blues, but there's plenty of energy in the first half to save it. Willin' and Easy to Slip in particular are excellent songs; Cold Cold Cold and Teenage Nervous Breakdown are also great. Worth putting on once in a while.

Sooo goood.
So many great songs. So many.
And it finishes with my favorite line of theirs:
"'Cause outside my hotel window is a sign that turns from red to green
It says 'chop suey' and 'join the U.S. Marines'..."
A superb Little Feat album. A southern fried blues'n'country fest with Lowell George on top form throughout. I always think of, sailin' shoes, as part of a trilogy with, Dixie chicken, and, feats don't fail me now. There are some excellent tracks here. Cold,cold,cold, cat fever, and the best version of, willin', one of the greatest songs ever, the album is a classic for that song alone. Little Feat were one of the best bands of the seventies and they deserve a lot more credit and attention.
