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 79.1/100, a mean average of 78.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

Cat's best album. Half of the LP is still played on the radio daily almost 50 years later. Peace Train, Morning Has Broken and Moonshadow are iconic songs of the 70s still known in most households today, and for Cat fans songs like How Can I Tell You (one of the greatest love songs goin round) and The Wind are common favorites. The Wind has become more appreciated since appearing in movies such as Almost Famous and Wes Anderson's Rushmore, both in powerful moments. Tuesday's Dead has profound but mysterious lyrics that fans are still unpacking and analyzing today. Definitely a defining moment for Cat, and for the 70s in general. (Edited)
Cat Stevens best album in my opinion
My favourite Album from Yusuf. Truly Great from Beginning to End
A fantastic album that is definitely up there with Tillerman for his best work. Every song is short and sweet and packs a punch considering the small amount of time we are listening to them. The vocal delivery is outstanding and his voice is very unique. The lyrics are also very smart as well such as on tracks like Peace Train. Some songs do dip in quality though and the instrumentation can be repetitive and similar. On the whole, it is short but brilliant. (Edited)
My favourite Cat Stevens disc. There are some wonderful songs on here, from his arrangement of 'Morning Has Broken', to 'Rubylove', 'Moonshadow', 'How can I Tell You' and 'Tuesday's Dead'. Singer/Songwriting at its Best. (Edited)
