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 78.6/100, a mean average of 78.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

Excellent shredding and riffing, solid work
This album rocked my socks off! I am late to the UFO party!

The guitar solo in Rock Bottom is one of the very best. Few can top this.
A great album with some really good hard rock tracks that really stand out (Doctor Doctor and Rock Bottom). The other songs have a lighter feel but perfectly fit in the album.
I stumbled upon this album and I'm so glad I did as it is fantastic. Fans of arena rock and guitar shredding in general owe it to themselves to find this album. You are already a fan of Michael Scheneker and you just don't know it yet. I have no idea why he and this band aren't more well known in the US.

A great debut and some of my favorite UFO tracks here but not sure if it's their best one.
Unforgettable Doctor Doctor :)
