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 75.6/100, a mean average of 74.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.8.

This is the album that finally got me into Leonard Cohen. What a lovely record - a concert I really am envious of missing! Along with Dylan at Budokan this is a real favourite of mine. I only have it on CD so it's my go to album for holiday drives to Scotland. The journey flies in no time!

So many of these songs sound better here because many of Leonard's studio works suffer from poor to average production. This album just sounds so good and the songs really take on a life of their own. The arrangements are superb. Favorite tracks "Dance Me To The End Of Love", "The Future", "Ain't No Cure For Love", "Anthem", "Democracy", "Closing Time", "Suzanne", "Tower Of Song" Maybe 2-3 songs are just alright here. Dynamite record!! MEZ
