Rating metrics: Help 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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.1/100, a mean average of 77.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.5.

Played this one today. Not an easy listen. HOWEVER...every one should be made to listen to at least 50 Zappa albums. Minimum. You should not be able to leave school until you have been Zappa-ised. You should not be able to vote, drink, shag or shit unless thou hast worshipped at the Church of…

CD2 covers the Hunky Dory / Ziggy period and the crunchy raw sound really works well. Energetic covers of Velvet Underground's Waiting for the Man and White Light/White Heat are also great.

If you like this period of Bowie - listen to this!!

A great record for Bowie fans. It's well produced and spans a good portion of his career.
