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 64.8/100, a mean average of 57.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 57.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.0.

not much wrong with side one but it contains a beatles cover for some reason but it kinda belongs on there anyhow with the rockin' band version of tempest we get here. side two is far more risky with amazing arrangements an even a couple of really good songs. if both sides had had this very good quality this one would go even higher on my list and probably would be more known around the globe than it dosesn't seem to be at the time being. no bad - or filler - track here with the aforementioned possible exeption but i will recommend the new listener to begin with side two. if you like 70's prog you will eventually really love that side and it's a promise.
