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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.8/100, a mean average of 77.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.7.

The German Pink Floyd. Great space prog right here. Second favorite Eloy behind Floating.

It is definetly a Krautrock masterpiece. But it really does not deserve to be ranked higher than Ocean. Why? Because it is the most brutal Pink Floyd rip off you could think of. If you don't believe it, listen for your self. The intro to the Album is a 1:1 copy of "Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Part 1". Then comes a transition to the doctor who-ish bassline of "One of these Days". Throughout the whole Album you will find samples of Welcome to the machine, Atom Heart mother, Alan Parsons Voyager and many many more.

But nevertheless this means that the album is a great listening experience and Eloy still do have their own style.
