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 has a Bayesian average rating of 69.0/100, a mean average of 68.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

I have been after a decent vinyl copy of this album for years! Finally, at last, picked up a near mint copy at a second hand vinyl shop yesterday. It is an excellent album with, as the title would suggest, a bit of a middle eastern theme to it. Ship of Fools is undoubtedly the high point but the opener is very worthy also. Love the eighties synth textures and the very underrated Robbie Blunt guitar work. I can see myself listening to this quite often.

Best Robert Plant album by far, it's a shame it is ranked so low among is discography (With "Mighty rearranger" at number 1, which is arguably is weakest album (!)) Absolute delight tracks in "Ship of fools", "Why" or "The way I feel", and the rest of the album is pretty listenable too.
A good album. Ship of fools, has got to be Robert Plant's greatest ever solo song. As for the album itself, it's a bit dated in parts, but decent enough.
