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 78.8/100, a mean average of 78.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.9.

Frankly my favourite from PFM dischography. More "played" and instrumental than the previous one, very very envolving on is wholeness.

E' un buon album. Ci sono delle parte che sono benissimo ma dei canzoni hanno parti troppi strani. Mi piace il primo e l'ultimo canzoni "di piu". Spiacente che il mio italiano non e' bene.
Only liked the first track at first because obviously it sounds so much like King Crimson, but the others are all little gems with lovely vocals, great guitar and some sublime (if somewhat dated) keyboards. Unpredictable, weird but cool album indeed.

the most literal definition of progressive rock. I believe this band stands up with the greats like Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, Pink Floyd (Edited)
Yes, it is like a small King Crimson album.

This is an adorable little prog album. Really exciting and somewhat cheesy listen. But it's a sophisticated sort of cheese... Like blue cheese. It's like blue cheese and wine.
Questo album, uscito dopo Storia di un minuto, ma nello stesso anno, si caratterizza per un piano musicale più complesso rispetto al primo ed ha ottenuto un successo minore.
