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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.8/100, a mean average of 75.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

Spirit of the age is one of my favorite tracks.
By the way Damnation Alley is a 1969 science fiction novel by American writer Roger Zelazny. The film is based on this book.

Hawkwind do new wave, and bring it to space, they refine their sound into a more professional tone, but they never loose their edge. Robert Calvert became the front man and brought a greater level of wit and style. It looses a bit towards the end, but its still top stuff.

Their mid/late 70's masterpiece. Every track is exceptional, with four masterpieces:- Spirit of the age, Damnation alley, Hassan I sahba and Days of the underground. Space rock never sounded so good!!! And does anyone know what came first - the film Damnation alley (1977) or the track on this LP - an amazing coincidence if they are not related.
