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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 82.3/100, a mean average of 80.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.8.

It's consistent, I'll give it that.
Great album, one of Bruce's best. Bit rough at times but a great time still.

I've said before that no Bruce hits me the way that "Born in the USA" hit me when I was a kid. Still true.
Not much separates this and Born to Run, but if I had to pick only one, I'd go with this.

Nem parece um álbum e sim uma coletânea de sucesso! Banda no ponto, o canto repleto de alma, as letras cheias de emoção!
For my money, the Boss' best. Slightly more contemplative and less combative than its predecessor, although still seemingly with every song about a boy and a girl escaping American ennui, the stand outs for me are Candy's Room and the epic Racing on the Streets.
Relatively speaking, very few albums have a 10/10 song on them.
Darkness on the Edge of Town has two, in the form of the title track and "Racing in the Street". The rest of the album, even the 'lesser' songs, is a grand slam. Nebraska just barely edges this out as my favourite Bruce album... but this is absolutely the best E Street Band record.
Decent album. Bandlands works really well as an open track.
Key track: The Promised Land
