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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.6/100, a mean average of 76.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.4.

Great stuff.
E' precisamente da "Blood money" che a me Tom Waits dà l'impressione di imitare se stesso, pur offrendo di se un'ottima imitazione; da qui in avanti ogni suo disco magari mi piacerà ma lasciandomi sempre quel senso di parziale insoddisfazione.
His voice is so haunting, one of the best singers of all time. This album is a masterpiece.
10/10
Released on the same day as, Alice, blood money, is the least accessible of the two(for casual fans, if indeed, there are any?), and is probably the more consistent and successful of the two. It features some of Waits' best latter day songs. Misery is the river of the world, God's away on business, everything goes to hell, and, starving in the belly of the whale, are all excellent tracks, Tom Waits at his mad best. There's some beautiful tracks here too with, Coney island baby, and, all the world is Green, both lovely. Another man's vine, is a great bluesy soul track, and, a good man is hard to find, is a great ending to the album. I have to admit that, lullaby, and, the part you throw away, are usual Tom Waits filler, songs he could probably write in his sleep. At least three quarters of this album is classic Waits.
This is absolutely fantastic. The only, only, only week moment is Coney Island Baby.
I love the atmosphere of this album. Although Rain Dogs has better songs, this here is my favourite Waits album. I really can not explain why, but in total it's the best
Now here's a great album! Wow... the quality of it.
