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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.1/100, a mean average of 74.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

Much better than A Night At The Opera released in the same year. Une Nuit A Paris (Part 1) / The Same Night In Paris (Part 2) / Later The Same Night In Paris (Part 3) is as good if not better than Bohemian Rhapsody.

Wow, de verdad no esperaba que este disco me gustara tanto, me agrada tanto la variedad y la creatividad que se despliega a lo largo de sus canciones, las cuales todas me parecieron bastante buenas. Una muy grata sorpresa

One of their, if not their best album. Inventive pop from a band that featured four songwriters who complemented each other perfectly. I'm not in love, is of course a classic and a highlight but, Blackmail, and, Life is a minestrone, are also two strong cuts on album full of them. Good stuff.

A very good A side and a fantastic opening after flipping the record over. Then it dies.

The recording of Sheet Music is reputed to be the highlight for the four members of 10cc. However, it is The Original Soundtrack that portrays the clever lyrics with catchy music and melodies. Une nuit in Paris is by far the wittiest song ever written. It is followed by the moving I'm Not in Love, with some great lyrics about denial. The first side closes with Blackmail - a funny story of a crime gone wrong. The second side starts of brilliantly with the cleverly worded The Second Sitting for the Last Supper. The rest of the albums tails of a little, but you still feel that you have listened to the funniest lyrics yet seriously great music album. Unfortunately this could not be repeated for How Dare You.
