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 79.0/100, a mean average of 79.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

Grey and pink is in my top 100 so why I've left it so long to check this out I don't know. Unfortunately one Sinclair left by this record for Hatfield, losing his wonderful vocal and bass but the other Sinclair who had left before previous album returned for this one, bringing his distinctive keys. Quite different from those earlier albums in character. Still great but maybe blending in more with the time than standing out from the pack like before and some straight up poptastic moments too. Definitely be coming back to this one.

Possibly overshadowed by the Prog masterpiece with it's iconic cover, In The Land of the Grey and Pink', this album is equally brilliant yet quite different. One of those where you discover more with each listen. Side 2 (vinyl) is epic!
