Rating metrics: Help 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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.3/100, a mean average of 75.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.7.

Another excellent prog album from Wishbone Ash with folky themes. These guys were really on it in the 70s!

A great album that succeeds in its guitar work and versatility. There are fun blues rock tunes (Jail Bait, Where Were You Tomorrow), folk-prog (The Pilgrim, Valediction) and even a bit of hard jazz (Vas Dis). Wishbone Ash reached its peak with Argus but Pilgrimage is still worthy of being considered one of their best efforts.

No british band ever did the duel lead guitars as well as the Ash. The album is unsophisticated under produced and the lyrics an afterthought but that does not matter - just listen to the duelling guitars
