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 71.8/100, a mean average of 70.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.4.

Really great album - the follow up to the awesome Desire I think and honestly I love them both.
This is in my top half dozen Dylan albums. I think the second side is as good as any, and No Time to Think from the first side is also great. Where are you Tonight is one of my all time favourite Dylan tracks.
Definitely a hidden gem in the Dylan discography.
Standout tracks: Changing of the Guards and Senor. But apart from that, another of Dylan's below average efforts.
One of Mr. Zimmerman's less celebrated releases. Maybe not up there with his classic material but still strong and Señor and Changing Of The Guards are right up there with his best material.
Señor is such an overlooked song... love it! It's a pity that the album has very few standout tracks and no one as that one, but it's still nice to listen, as is most of Dylan's discography.
This is one of Dylan's most underrated albums, at least in my opinion. I think it gets kind of forgotten, as it comes after the high artistic achievements of, blood on the tracks, and, desire, and the forthcoming 'god' trilogy. Opener, changing of the guard's, is great, with some nice E-street band sax on it. Pony, is an excellent dirty blues, one of Bob's best twelve bars. Baby stop crying, and, is your love in vain? , are nice pop songs. The best of the bunch though, are, Senor, and, where are you tonight?. The rest is fine too. Street legal has it's own sound with the female backing vocals and the saxes. It's also got a new decent re-mix on the CD. Good album
Best Track: Changing of the Guards

Dylan goes for a different style on this album with a large backing arrangement and singers. He definitely goes for it sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't and it drags a bit towards the end but Changing of the Guard and Señor are classic tracks.
Dylan never fails even on this lesser talked about album
