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 77.2/100, a mean average of 77.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.3.

Un álbum de folk rock con influencias de la música country, el cual no está mal, pero tampoco encontré algo que me llamara la atención. La voz de Warren Zevon es sólida, aunque sin llegar a sorprenderme y hablando instrumentalmente tiene algunas cosas interesantes como algunos arreglos de guitarra, pero nada fuera de lo normal. "She's Too Good For Me" es la canción que más me gusto del disco, la versión de "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" está bien pero he escuchado mejores, y el resto simplemente me mantuvo un poco indiferente.

In pochi riescono a stendere il loro testamento, con lucidità, quando il momento della fine è ormai imminente. Warren Zevon entra in studio già pesantemente minato da quel cancro che lo ucciderà di lì a breve attorniato dai medici e da vecchi amici che hanno cognomi importanti: Springsteen, Petty, Keltner, Cooder, Lindley e poi ancora Emmylou Harris, Joe Walsh, Don Henley ed altri, a supportare ma mai ad oscurare l'amico. Anche l'inserimento in scaletta dell'abusata cover di "Knockin' on heaven's door" assume un significato ben diverso da quello di rifare un pezzo famoso di Dylan, visto il contesto; e "The wind", già riuscito di suo, diventa un album tra i più emozionanti che mai siano stati realizzati.
I love this album. His last that he made after learning he had terminal cancer. The Boss helps out with a blistering solo on "Disorder In The House". Love "Dirty Life & Times", emotional version of "Knocking On Heaven's Door", "Disorder In The House" is great, "Numb as A Statue", "Party for Rest Of The Night" Why not? Time was running out... Those are the rockers.. Great ballads like "Keep Me In Your Heart" to his girlfriend. Most of the other ballads work well too. Maybe 1 weak or lesser track. Excellent album Warren! MEZ
