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 has a Bayesian average rating of 66.0/100, a mean average of 64.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.4.

The Double Fantasy project was to release both a John and a Yoko album mixed together into two 1/2 album each. John was murdered just some weeks after the sessions for the second album began. The project was locked and then a couple of years later Yoko compiled 6 tracks John was working on and put 6 newly recorded songs of her and the album was released.
While in Double Fantasy Yoko tracks were kind of acceptable except a few bad ones, here ALL her tracks are terrible. So bad in fact that they shift the focus of attention away from the overall very good John songs.

Anyway, the good stuff is really strong. Nobody told me is fantastic and his other tracks are very good too.
It's a shame a lunatic took this man away.

The rating of course reflects the battle of Very Good vs Awful that takes place when hearing the record.

Don't know why, but this John's album is my favourite, maybe I'm just nostalgic, but anyway, some great track on this one.

Much maligned, I think this is a good pop record. Hey it's where his head was at the time. Mr. Lennon had mellowed and matured, he had changed and so had his music.

A decent album without being essential. If you like John Lennon it’s worth having.
