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 73.0/100, a mean average of 72.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.9.

Petty entra definitivamente negli anni ottanta ( "Hard promises" era una specie di continuazione di "Damn the torpedoes"… ) e lo fa con un suono tipico del periodo senza però risultare fastidiosamente alla moda. Attualizza la sua musica, diciamo così… Ne esce un buon lavoro che scala pure le classifiche con "You got lucky".

Similar to Southern Accents - some great tracks, but not a stellar album.

Maybe not as consistent as some of his other albums but it contains some great tracks.

Underrated album; probably my favorite of his. Highlights: “You Got Lucky,” “Change Of Heart,” “One Story Town” and “Finding Out.”

Yea, I guess I agree with that statement, one of their lesser known albums and a couple hidden gems.

Powerful and beautiful at the same time, Petty is a superb songwriter and this album is the perfect combination of his amazing capabilities with his understanding of what moves the masses...
