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 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.3/100, a mean average of 75.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.2.

Amazing that this guy has been singing and playing his guitar for 50 years. It seems not that long ago listening to Postcards From Scarborough for the first time.
This album is a welcome return to form.
The two bonus tracks are excellent and highlight that Michael's finger-picking is still working well into his 70s.

Our man in Westtown, NY. After 50 years in the music business this ia s personal dream coming true for one of the most US influenced british singer songwriters. In "That time of night" Brifget St. John joins him for a wonderful moment of melancholy.

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 :(
