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 73.4/100, a mean average of 72.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.2.

Planted right in the middle of this under-rated album is the true gem of this collection - "We Can't Live Together". The top notch band Jackson has assembled here makes each song really stand out on its own.

Underrated and under appreciated Joe Jackson is a marvel of skill, diversity and musicianship.

This album was recorded live in front of an audience and made direct to two-track digital master - so no overdubbing or mixing afterwards. The audience was asked to to be as quiet as possible and to hold applause until songs were absolutely finished.
Quite an outstanding project.
