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 60.8/100, a mean average of 60.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 60.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.5.

Heart of Mine and Every Grain of Sand are classics, and Property of Jesus is pretty good. The rest is fair to middling.
Okay, so my optimism fades with the third of the trilogy. After being pleasantly surprised with the previous two 'God' albums, this one was a step too far.

The final album of the Christian trilogy is another solid and underrated effort. The key parts for me are Lenny Bruce, Watered-Down Love & Groom's Still Waiting At the Altar in the middle and the brilliant final track Every Grain of Sand.
The final part of Dylan's god trilogy. This is easily the least successful of the three. It seems confused, and not really sure where it wants to go. It's still ok, the groom's still waiting at the altar, and especially, every grain of sand, are excellent songs. The title track is ok, as so is property of Jesus. Lenny Bruce is dull, but the rest isn't too bad. I actually really like, heart of mine, and, watered down love. Not great, but it's certainly not bad either.
I like this record. The production and arrangements are top notch. Maybe this is not Mr. Dylan at the top of his form but there are some great songs on here.

for god's sake. if bob released only albums like shot of love full of kitschy, boring songs he would be nothing but a fart of musical history.

The secular songs aren't very good. A big step down from Dylan's previous two albums.
