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 69.9/100, a mean average of 69.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

Tras un caótico primer intento, junto a Phil Spector, en 1973, Lennon consiguió un precioso disco de versiones de clásicos.
A bit overlong but for the first four or five tracks it's a hoot but becomes a bit samey and runs out of steam well before the end. Still, there are some great performances, especially, You can't catch me, which is the standout for me. At the end of the day and e.p probably would have been better but Lennon had to make it an album because of some legal issues stemming from John's use of "Old flatop" on, Come together, which of course is a Chuck Berry lyric. Altogether not bad but too long. (Edited)

I love John Lennon. I love 50’s Rock n Roll music. However, I’ve never taken to this album. I don’t like Phil Spector’s production techniques. I think the production spoils the songs and the wrong songs were chosen. Except for Stand By Me, which is terrific. A real missed opportunity as Lennon was a fantastic rock n roll singer. Disappointing.
A great revisiting of classic songs. The stand-out being "Stand By Me".
A fun record which some interesting arrangements of classic songs. Although I prefer most of Lennon's other work over this album it's still great to hear him revisiting these old songs.
