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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.8/100, a mean average of 72.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

"Sunken condos" ha buone canzoni ( il blues "Weather in my head" su tutte ) realizzate, una volta tanto, non con la solita produzione fighetta ma con un piglio ed un suono più energici: se dovessi accostarlo ad un album degli Steely Dan direi che quell'album potrebbe essere "The royal scam". Una piacevole sorpresa.

Donald Fagen's best album since, the nightfly. It's typical Fagen combing rock, funk and jazz and he delivers his finest set of songs for over thirty years. Weather in my head, memorabilia, and, slinky thing, are all classic Fagen. A well underrated album.

Looks like this isn't the popular view, but I find this a marked improvement over Morph the Cat.
