Rating metrics: Help 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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.6/100, a mean average of 75.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

A strong "comeback" album for Warren Zevon after he was dropped his record company following the release of The Envoy. Boom Boom Mancini is a biography song about the boxer of the same name and its probably my personal favorite on the record. Neil Young plays lead on the title track. The softer ballads are strong as well. Zevon takes a few shots at himself on a few tracks. Its one of the top tier Zevon records.

This album opens with 2 boffo numbers in the Title cut and Boom Boon Mancini. Now there's music that will get you on your feet. And there's Reconsider Me and the Monkey song. Personally my favorite Zevon album, though Excitable Boy is verrry close.
