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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.6/100, a mean average of 78.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

This is my favorite band were they ever a boy band? Were these guys abused as children? Or were they already adults?
Recopilatorio atípico. Tiene canciones inéditas, algunos en directo, rarezas (sobre todo, temas no editados en LP hasta entonces) y un tema representativo de cada uno de sus cuatro primeros álbumes. No es el clasico Grandes Éxitos, pero todo en él es magnífico.
A great album of strong material from a band at the height of their power.
A really good examination of what JT were all about, even if it is an early album. Great songs, tight performances, and a fascinating glimpse into Ian Anderson's own trademark malaise and musings.

This gives you the best sense of what "Jethro Tull" was about. The single releases contained herein gives an indication of the breezy, forlorn sound that has captivated me about them.

This is a double album which is a compilation but not a "best of" per se because it is a combination of great songs, outtakes, live cuts and singles not available on LP so far. As a result it makes for a very strong album. This ranks as a Tull essential "to have" album even though it has some material available on other albums since the greater proportion of the album is new material.
