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 69.0/100, a mean average of 67.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.0.

I like the energy, some of the songs are good - great even - but I really don't find myself returning to it that often. Still, My Three Sons, American Gangster Time, Pardon Me Madam, to name a few, are pretty memorable.
A surprisingly energetic and punchy record from the Imposters. Some of Costello's best songs in years all delivered with an edge not heard since, blood & chocolate. Underrated and overlooked.
