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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.5/100, a mean average of 77.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.4.

Love the first two albums and this also has some very good tracks on it. One of the big differences for me is in the production. On this one Knopfler takes control of production and it's very polished and hitting that sound that would conquer the world and test your new cd player to the max. Give me the first two anyday, even though this has plenty merits, it's too shiny and adult for it's own good which is a shame as there is some of their best stuff under the artifice.

"I don't use to listen dire straits regulary but every time i spin them i always realize they are one of the greatest bands ever."
Translation: "I don't particularly enjoy it, but it ticks all my boxes of what I think good music is."

Easily my favorite Dire Straits album. Telegraph Road is one of the greatest songs of all time, in any genre. Industrial Disease is wonderfully witty, and the rest is worthy as well.
An ambitious album that you wouldn't expect to get from a band like Dire Straits. Although they don't stick the landing all the time Knopfler and Co made a good album and definitely an underrated one. Shouldn't be glossed over! Telegraph Road and Private Investigations belong to their best material.
90/100

Almost progressive songs combined with Dire Straits; a lot better to what you might think.
Mark Knopfler goes for the epic on Dire straits fourth album. Love over gold, only consists of five songs, but they are all excellent. Telegraph road, is a stunning opening track, and it's followed by the atmospheric, private investigations. Side gives us the enjoyable, industrial disease, the lovely title track, and, it never rains, which always seems to be the forgotten track. Love over gold, is arguably Dire straits' best album.
