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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.7/100, a mean average of 77.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

The first four Oldfield Albums are timeless , essential master-pieces.
Heard them a zillion times and they still offer something new to the listener.
Incantations ; Ommadawn ; Hergest Ridge and (of course) Tubular Bells
belong in every music-collection
Look at that cover. The guy is 25. A year younger than Joe strummer. Oh well, he may not look too cool and like he's off to teach 6th form geography but I'll take this album to my turntable any (most) days over any clash album. A fine charidee shop find. Big up aal crew playing incantations in '78!
An underrated Mike Oldfield record. It's long (double vinyl) but it is enjoyable enough with some nice moments. Not bad at all.
