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 72.0/100, a mean average of 69.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.0.

The original Tubular Bells is a classic and was even ahead of it's time. But the synths on this are so dated. It somehow sounds even more dated than the original that came out 19 years before it.
I do recognize the skill in composing and arranging this album, and I do enjoy the tracks Weightless, The Great Plain and Red Dawn. And kudos to you if you really enjoy the whole thing. But compare this to the debut albums of Aphex Twin & The Prodigy that were released the same year. It's like they are made in different worlds.

Never considered a classic and a real shame for that. This LP takes the original Tubular Bells template, changes the melodies and updates the production values but keeps the structure intact, producing a wonderful facsimile of the pioneering 1973 album. This time around, the tracks are split up into bite sized chunks, as opposed to the side-long epics of its forebearer. Let's be honest, this will never be a cool album but if you can listen with unprejudiced ears, you might just enjoy what you hear.
