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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.5/100, a mean average of 75.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.8.

The whole album is awesome, but the title track is just awesome.
movie soundtrack elevator music

La musica nera che più mi piace è questa: quella dei primi anni settanta, acida, melodica ma sempre graffiante, eseguita con chitarre in overdose di wha-wha, bassi pieni, organi orgiastici, atmosfere lascive.
A superb soundtrack album. Certainly better than the film, although it is fun, but the music is superb. Textured and atmospheric it drips New York with just the right amount of attitude. The title track is brilliantly humourus and the epic Do your thing is absolutely jaw dropping. One of the best soundtrack album's ever.
