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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.6/100, a mean average of 77.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.4.

Warren Zevon's major label debut (often incorrectly referred to as his debut album) is a consistent but varied introduction to his music. Several of the best songs of his career on this album. I do think that Zevon leans a bit more into his quirkiness with Excitable Boy and I tend to have a bit more fun with that record, but his songwriting was probably at its best here.
Excellent album. Some real strong songs, flows well. I'm a big Zevon fan. B+ MEZ

A bit dull in the first half, but picks up somewhat in the second.
8.4, B+
