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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.9/100, a mean average of 78.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.4.

Probably listened to this several hundred times in my teenage years. Always hated the Colour My World break, but the rest is perfection.
Very strong compilation of the band's best material from their best period before they went a little too AOR for my taste. Even then, a bunch of great songs didn't make the cut—Introduction, Old Days, I'm a Man, Questions 67 and 68 just to name a few. Chicago was really on top of their game in the early '70s.
Nice. But they did not include my favorite. Include Old Days leave out out Wishing you were here. And this would have been really great.
