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 72.4/100, a mean average of 72.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.8.

I begin to understand why the ratings tell the quality of an album rather well (Sometimes). I'm not too fond of genre mixing. Weak songs are not worth a revisit, as there are better albums around..

Burton Cummings does his best Jim Morrison impression on the A side, and his best Paul Simon on the B side. Both land about as well as you'd expect.

Cummings & Co. demonstrate their musical chops, but are clearly still seeking their sound.

Casual fans could look to their two 1970 releases for more refined, familiar Guess Who territory.

Burton Cummings is influenced by Jim Morrison as heard on "Friends of Mine. Burton is a huge Morrison fan and drove Morrison around in a car one night in L.A. Burton will also recite Doors lyrics during his concerts.

This has to be one of the most underrated album on the 60's. I mean, it's really good.

My favorite tracks include, but are not limited to:
Friends of Mine
When You Touch Me
We're Coming To Dine

There are some great lesser known songs on this album, especially Wednesday In Your Garden and I Found Her in a Star.
