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 71.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

Non stupisce che Paul McCartney, tra i suoi tanti progetti, ne abbia realizzato anche uno ( i Firemen, appunto, condiviso col bassista dei Killing Joke ) di musica sperimentale, visto che la vena sperimentale di McCartney è sempre stata presente fin dai tempi dei Beatles. E' quindi il Macca di "Helter skelter" e non quello di "Yesterday"; ma pure quello del primo album da solista omonimo e di tante soluzioni musicali così diverse da quanto ci si aspetterebbe comunemente da lui, disseminate nei vari dischi solisti. I brani di questo album, poi, non sono accozzaglie di suoni e rumori come spesso accade quando si fa della musica cosiddetta sperimentale, ma canzoni vere e proprie, magari difficili, a volte non memorabili, ma compiute.

I think this is one of the best albums of the past decade. I agree for "Sing the changes".

"Sing the Changes" is, perhaps, one of the best tracks to come out of the new millennium. Pure ear candy.
