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 73.3/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

Non ricordo un album dei Talking Heads, a parte "Remain in light", così riuscito e centrato come questo; con un suono altrettanto frizzante, con tante canzoni così ben fatte, che sembrano fresche anche se ricordano questo o quell'altro brano del loro autore. "Angels" potrebbe essere una "Once in a lifetime" minore ma neanche di tantissimo, "Buck naked" è l'ideale chiusura soffusa e pop di un disco quasi perfetto e che ho ascoltato parecchio.
