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 77.9/100, a mean average of 77.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.4.

Despite some critics, this album has many sides and the overall tone is airy. The complex and hard rocking elements are there but not as straightforward and aggressive. TYA belongs to my favorite band league since 1973

Two and a half Thumbs Up. Rating (78.50)
A change of direction that the critics didn't like and nor did the record buying public. I also think it is one of their least impressive albums, and only their first and last (positive vibrations) albums rate lower in my opinion. All of their other albums are excellent.

Favoritas: I'd Love To Change The World, Here They Come, Over The Hill, One Of These Days
Not their most ambitious record but probably their most popular. Listenable post 60's formula rock.
