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 72.9/100, a mean average of 73.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

EC has done a lot of collaboration albums. IMHO, this is one of the two best, the other being Painted from Memory. I would also say that this is EC's best album since the 90s and probably will be his last great album. His voice still held on this record.
An enjoyable record that is a lot of fun when picking out the snippets of various Costello songs here and there. It's not brilliant but it's good to hear Costello again.
This album takes several listens to appreciate. It makes my top 20 list of 2013.
