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 72.1/100, a mean average of 71.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 7.7.

This album is similar to Cale’s later album Hobosapiens, a pop experiment that may miss the mark sometimes, but when it hits, it hits hard. The best songs on here are the last 3 tracks and “So Much for Love”. I’d quite like a mixtape that contains the best tracks from this album and the best tracks from Hobosapiens.
Walking on Locusts is a triumph, and I would recommend it to any Cale fan.
