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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.8/100, a mean average of 75.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.9.

A fine lazy afternoon listening
I got this album in the 80's but then hadn't heard it for decades. It wasn't as strong as I recall at the time but was still a great listen - Coney Island Baby track is subliminal
Best Tracks: A Gift, Nobody's Business
Favorite Tracks: Charley's Girl, She's My Best Friend & Coney Island Baby
An underrated Lou Reed album. Coney island baby, is obviously not his best record but it's certainly in his top five. A more laid back LP, apart from that loud part on, kicks, it's an enjoyable LP, Lou Reed's summer record. The title track is lovely and to think this was the follow up to, metal machine music.

So enticingly tasteful and laid back that I can't help but love it.
Underrated

A mostly warm and upbeat record but with a few twists and a little sleaze as you should expect. This album makes me feel like I'm at a really freaky party in the 70's and that's not a bad thing. Kicks is a sick song and Coney Island Baby shows heart.
