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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.8/100, a mean average of 79.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.1.

Uneven, but enjoyable, but it does include, strange weather, which was only previously available on the disappointing, big time, live record. A pity it doesn't also include, falling down, the other track only available on those terrible live recordings(it's the sound, not the songs), still this is a good compilation, but I always feel with Tom Waits, that his songs always work best in the context of the albums they were originally released on. They don't work so well here, but like the songs on the live album, they're still brilliant.
