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 has a Bayesian average rating of 67.4/100, a mean average of 66.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.1.

Con frecuencia menospreciado, este no es el mejor trabajo de Harrison pero, desde luego, no es el peor. Para mí, notable.

Not a masterpiece but certainly better than the previous Dark Horse.
My favourite is 'Tired Of Midnight Blue' but really there are more pretty good tunes here.
Overall it's a good album.

I listened to it last night in its new 2014 remaster: much better than what I remembered. No masterpiece for sure, but more than decent.

Extra Texture is often described as the worst Harrison solo album (ever worse than Gone Troppo or Dark Horse), but I have to disagree. The great opener, 'You' reminds me of the beautiful All Thing Must Pass sound and the quality of his first real solo album. This Guitar (Can't Keep From Crying) is one of my favourite solo songs by Harrison.
Other nice songs I like a lot are 'Can't Stop Thinking about You', 'Tired of Midnight Blue', and 'Grey Cloudy Lies'.
Yes, Harrison had his low period in his career after his unsuccessful Dark Horse release and US Tour in 1974, but this album is better than Dark Horse. And he didn't forget his sarcastic humour, see the inner picture of him and the text 'OHNOTHIMAGAIN'.
