Rating metrics: Help 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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.9/100, a mean average of 77.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.8.

The first two tracks on this album are some of the most impressive prog/'space' rock I've ever heard. (Edited)

Housed in what is possibly their best sleeve art, to rival Genesis, Yes, Floyd and Crimson, the music ain't half bad either. In fact it is quite a complex album. 'Magnu' mixes swirling synths with Eastern sounding instruments to great effect, with an almost ambient rhythm pounding away in the background. 'Dying Seas' is a synth lovers dream mixing synth textures and strings with wispy flute passages, gradually breaking down into processed spoken word sounding like a crazed Davros from Doctor Who. 'Standing at the Edge of Time' is a personal favourite.

This was Lemmy's swansong to Hawkwind, and what a way to go! Hawkind had added an extra drummer on this, and this one continued in the musical progression that "Hall of the Mountain Grill" started. Brilliant! (Edited)

A great record by a great band. More sophisticated than their earlier work they have grown as musicians and songwriters by this album.

Another masterpiece with great songs like Assault & Battery, Demented Man, Magnu, Dying Seas and the instrumentals Opa-Loka and Spiral Galaxy. Essential for every space rock fan. (Edited)
