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 72.9/100, a mean average of 73.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.0.

L'esordio solista dell'ex Wall of Voodoo Stan Ridgway; un album di canzoni a metà tra il metropolitano e la tradizione americana, un personaggio che si pone come un cowboy moderno.
Unfortunately this album is very overlooked, but it's very good. The highlights are The Big Heat, Pile Driver, and Camouflage, and the song Walkin' Home Alone is the best on the album. I'd say it's worth a listen if you want to hear something that has been unfortunately forgotten.
