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 is rated in the top 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.8/100, a mean average of 77.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 8.6.

There was a long time gap between this 2004 album and Cale's previous studio album "Guitar Man". But as always: new Cale albums are always worth waiting for.

No big changes in his musical style. He sticks with his classic laid back style. Most of the songs on this new album have brothers or sisters in his extensive back-catalogue. "My Gal" and "Jailer", "The Problem" and "I`ll Kiss The World Goodbye" , "Rio" and "Don`t Cry Sister" etc. This is no problem for me personally, because us usual the "feeling" is there.

The album starts off with 5 traditional Cale songs. It is not until the 6th track that the melodic side of him really shows. "The Problem", "Homeless" and "Fancy Dancer" are already favourites of mine.

Cale has made yet another fine album and has lived up to his own high standards. "Grasshopper" is still my favourite album, though.
