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 72.4/100, a mean average of 70.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

I love this album. I think it's his strongest in a good while. Gorgeously atmospheric, paired with some of the best vocals of his career. A late night album that is sorely underrated in his catalogue.
This one of my top 100 albums for which you can check out my comments.
Elvis Costello has issued many good albums and I suppose the best way to get to know him is to listen to "Girls! Girls! Girls!" a 47 song compilation which features a number of my absolutely favorite songs like "I Want You" and "Shipbuilding".
But still I like this album more which Comes in the latter part of his career mainly because I think it is completely underrated. It is a very soft and jazzy album but the songs on it are absolutely gorgeous. The most fantastic ones are "Still" and "Someone Took the Words Away".
this might just be his greatest piece of work

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
