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 67.1/100, a mean average of 65.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.7.

Never been able to enjoy this one. Who needs information is my favourite. His weakest of the 1st four solo albums.
Another effort from Roger with another bit of concept - appears to be some kinda protest about the government and big business through the eyes of Billy, a disabled Welsh boy. Roger isn't everyone's cup of tea and many won't like mixing politics so overtly with music but put it aside and you have quite an accessible album by Rogers standards.
"My least-hated, favourite fish would be sole
That way you don't have to see the eyes" - who else write's lyrics like this?
This for me is Roger Waters best solo output. Good vocals, I like the way the drums are recorded, punchy and sat correctly in the mix with generally some nice musicianship throughout. 'The Tide is Turning' is the standout track.
truly under rated. deserves more attention in waters impressive discography
Very good album discovered again after over 20 yeaers

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
