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 72.5/100, a mean average of 71.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.0.

A very underrated album. There's a good variety to his vocal style hence giving the songs a flavor of difference. So even with it having 16 tracks (copy I have has 17 with 'Girls of NY' being the 17th track and one of the best on the album), it keeps you hooked till the end. Mr Pop is a true legend.

Certi dischi si rivelano già dalla copertina: quella di "American Caesar" mostra Iggy Pop in posa fiera, altera, plastica, trionfante nel suo mostrare il fisico davvero bestiale. La musica è lo stesso: quello che si proclama Cesare d'America è un Iggy in forma come non lo era dai tempi degli Stooges e come mai più lo sarà...

Yet another Iggy record I've always loved. While the Stones and Bowie during that time were struggling to write decent songs, Iggy was still very creative, as shown with gems like
Jealousy or F**kin alone. The album rocks, despite being a bit too long.
