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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 75.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.4.

This recording certainly shows a diversity of ability, with excellent songs in multiple genres of music. It is only held back from being a classic by the lack of super hits. It still has excellent songs, just not at the level where it is among the greats. 9/10!
Winner of the album of the year at the Grammys in 1970. Pretty decent choice to be honest
decent intense cross-genre and some gems.

Way Jazzier than I expected. Rating (75.50)

Enjoyable instrumental mix, good combination of jazz and rock.
This is an interesting listen - complex compositions and interesting dynamics between the vocals and the instruments. The "Variation" bookends are a nice touch, too.
Overall, a theatrical and well-composed blend of jazz, concert band and rock. Fans of Chicago and The Band will enjoy.

David Clayton-Thomas's voice just doesn't do it for me. Sad to say.

Spinning Wheel is much better than You've Made Me So Very Happy
BS&T loses their leader, Al Kooper, and comes back with one of the best records of the 60s. Has their two biggest hits, "Spinning Wheel" and "You've Made Me So Very Happy," along with classics like the standard, "God Bless the Child," and Laura Nyro's "And When I Die." The band's later efforts would be uninspired, but this is just great.
