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 64.4/100, a mean average of 60.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 61.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

My least favorite Lizzy record but certainly not a bad one. Worthy of it's once a year visit.
Best song(s): Sarah; Buffalo Gal
This differs from the first album. The debut was a mixture of good/great ideas with some mediocre/bland ones, and it resulted in a confused album with some good songs but a lot of potentially good ideas thrown into "meh" songs. Shades of a Blue Orphanage differs in that it's maybe 2 good songs with 7 other either bland, boring, and bad songs. I can't understand what Phil was going through at this point, trying to find Lizzy's true calling, but this is hardly a rock album, as most of it's tunes are slower, ballad-y type songs with a few guitar riffs thrown throughout. I'm not bashing it because it's not a rock album, because Lizzy have plenty of great songs later in their career that couldn't really be called "rock" songs - I'm simply bashing this album because it's not very good. Their weakest studio attempt in my opinion.
This is my least favorite Thin Lizzy album. Probably not the place for most people to start.
The Rise and Dear Demise of the Funky Nomadic Tribes and Brought Down here. Sounds a lot different from most I have heard from them.
