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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.2.

Very underrated album. Many solid songs, no bigger hits but listened a lot in Spotify. Recommended.!

Just discovered the amazing "Nightwatchman". Great album. Rating (81.00)

Solid if not great. Front-loaded as well. But the first side is classic Tom Petty at the height of his power.
Certainly a solid album. The Waiting might be their best song, and King's Road and Letting You Go are underrated in my opinion.

Solid quality Tom Petty... but it's almost like a B-Sides album or something... nothing special.

Quietly a solid album from start to finish. Just lacks the standout tracks to make it a classic.

tom writes slick, lively and agreeable songs. listening to hard promises is easy and cheerful. but somehow something is missing to make this one "a big thing" for me - i can't really fall in love with it.
I thought this was an excellent album. Underrated

Love 80's Tom Petty in particular this and Long After Dark... Not a single weak track between both albums, this guy is the finest songwriter of his generation and for some reason just does not recieve recognition in the site, pitty...

"Insider" WITH STEVIE NICKS IS MASTERPEICE...GREAT TO SOLID TUNES
