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 72.3/100, a mean average of 71.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.6.

Gli Steely Dan che sono passati alla storia ( e che sono uno dei miei gruppi preferiti ) sono altri, ma il livello del loro ritorno ( temporaneo ) è per lo meno discreto.
A thoughtful solid record.

Much better album than Two Against Nature. It was interesting to hear Becker's vocal on "Slang of Ages". My favorite track was Pixeleen.
"Everything Must Go" is Steely Dan's second album since their re-union - and at this point their latest. I have noticed that it is often considered weaker than its predecessor, "Two Against Nature". I'm not sure I agree. Without quite reaching the heights of the 1970s there are on this album some fine and actually very catchy songs - and unlike "Two Against Nature" none of the tracks become longwinded.
"The Things I Love the Most" is in all ways Steely Dan at their best - a song that would have slipped seamlessly into "Katy Lied".
"Blues Beach" - is with his little flute refrain a song that you soon may find yourself go whistling, and another evidence that the group is still capeable of writing sophisticated pop numbers, and lyrics with bite and wit.
"Slang of Ages" sung by Becker, also stands out positively - beautiful female voices.
The opening number "Last Mall" is more funky - but with its dismal lyrics and the fine drive also a number you gladly return to.
The title-track is, although I usually do not care much for saxophone solos, probably my favorite. Beautiful melody with a catchy and doomsday-like refrain.
The other tracks are solid, but more forgettable.
The lyrics are generally weird, dark and disillusioned which certainly does not make them less interesting.
I certainly hope that Becker and Fagen will return to the studios, they obviously have have a lot to offer.
