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 70.3/100, a mean average of 69.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.1.

Beginning of the end with this album. Prime time, Don't answer Me & You Won't Believe are the highlights.
Alan Parson has produced some excellent albums and this is one of his best with tracks like Don't Answer Me', 'You Don't Believe', 'Prime Time' and 'Ammonia Avenue'. Having worked as a Sound Engineer with The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Hollies and Steven Wilson to name but a few, it is no surprise that the musicianship and production on all of his albums is quality.
All I can say is it's well produced.
