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 78.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

started well with the first 5 tracks but then really lost momentum unfortunately - Free Fallin is a classic
Shortlisted for album of the year at the Grammys in 1990. The winner was Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt. This should have won
Great Songs, actually evergreens !

This is a top notch album. Great songs. Jeff Lynne's addition and direction is important here.
Great Petty record

Second half is clearly weaker, but I have a nostalgic tolerance for the goofier material.
for me their is no complete tp album.i like this album and into the great wide open but thats it. good but not great.
Great album no heartbreaker chugging, more succinct pop rock with fine lynne / petty song writing. Only zombie zoo fails the quality mark. Lynnes production of guitars is excellent on this record.
