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 72.7/100, a mean average of 70.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

Okay
Amazing songwriting. Original, quirky, funny and moving. The start of a great run of albums from Newman with, I think it's going to rain today, the beautiful highlight. Great stuff.
This album is very short and sweet, but it's the perfect place to start listening to Randy Newman, not so much of the later acidic comedy boy stuff, but still enough subtlety and irony-tinged popular tunesmithery to keep your interest play after play. Classy.

I think that this is his first album for Warner Bros.
