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 57.8/100, a mean average of 55.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 55.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.5.

Have I mentioned I'm not normal? I'm the guy that liked this album from the start, grew to love it as time went on.
But with the sound and volume he hung on it, it was almost unprogrammable on the radio for a sort of alternative and americana station. If we'd been playing Boston and Foreigner I think it would have been easy-- but they didn't try either, so maybe I'm wrong... anyway, some of his best material and well presented-- just maybe too distinct and distinguished for its own good.

Gotta say I love this haha. Love 80s synth and this is a fun album. Weird turn for Young but so was Trans but hell I love that one too haha.

I have to hand it to Neil Young, for as hair brained an attempt as Trans was, this actually is not that bad. Sure, the songs aren't interesting at all, but at least I can sit through it all at once. I didn't retch a single time listening to this. Will I listen to it again? Probably not.

I could get more behind this if the production was more polished. That might sound strange but he's the that type of guy who will go for the all out 80s sheen but do it his way, which ends up in no man's land. Should have just gone all out production. The drums just sound shit. Maybe I'm not getting the full experience on Spotify. Give me Trans anyday over this.

An album dominated by drums & synthesizer gives it a very 80's sound. Regarded as a bad album by fans, its not great, but listening to it now its not that bad. Hippie Dream, Hard Luck Stories & I Got A Problem sound ok as does the opening & closing tracks.
