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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.0/100, a mean average of 77.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

Album Of the year at the 1998 Grammys (Edited)

Dylan sempre brilha quando se aproxima do blues.
Not a huge fan of this Dylan record as I always found it to drag on so much especially with that 16 minute closing song which I find is completely unnecessary. It all seems to lack a bit of energy and feel quite lacklustre a lot of the time. The instrumentation is pretty repetitive and gets predictable after a while making it feel even more elongated to me as I know what is coming. I do enjoy the vocal on here a lot and I can appreciate the tone difference he has gone for on this record which works very well in places. Make You Feel My Love is also one of his greatest ever songs. Overall, this album never really clicked with me and I just find myself waiting for it to end whenever I listen to it. (Edited)
For me it was good but not great Dylan but I need to give it more rotation
Really enjoyed this project. Love Sick was my favourite

Album of the year, 1997. just ahead of Urban Hymns, OK Computer, The Boatman's Call.

A great album from Uncle Robert.
So good!
Una obra maestra, que colocaría incluso entre los 5 mejores discos de Bob Dylan, y que crece con cada escucha.

Very atmospheric album with great production by Daniel Lanois. There are some wonderful bluesy sounds on this one and "Make You Feel My Love" is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard by Mr. Dylan. This is definitely one of Bob's best efforts.
