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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.1/100, a mean average of 75.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

I think that "Fawn" is one of my fav Tom Waits track..It almost has a sacred feeling. like a Chinese folk song....beautiful
I think Alice is the best song Waits ever wrote. (or San Diego Serenade)
Great stuff!

Abbondanza creativa dopo diversi anni di silenzio; due album in un anno, entrambi validi. Questo per me è il migliore...
Released on the same day as, blood money, Alice, is another of Tom Waits' musical collobarations, this time inspired by the books of Lewis Carroll. It's a more orchestral affair than Waits had previously released, with even nods back to his seventies recordings. The title track is just that, a smoky, jazzy, three o'clock in the morning number, it's lovely. Other standouts on the album are, reeperbahn, fish & bird, and my favourite, lost in the harbour, absolutely beautiful. Kommienezuspadt, is gloriously insane, and, I'm still here, and, barcarolle, are excellent too. There is a bit of filler, I suppose, but hey, Tom Waits filler is better than most people's highlights. Another very good LP from Waits.
