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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.3/100, a mean average of 76.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

Another favourite of mine. Powerful rock and acoustic ballads, can you ask for more?
Posiblemente, el disco más acústico de Jethro Tull con dos joyas monumentales (aunque todo el álbum es extraordinario): Minstrel In The Gallery y Baker Street Muse.

Just a fantastic album. The musicianship on this one is just breathtaking. It's now my favorite Jethro Tull album. It should be SO much more well known than it is. But at least we Jethro Tull fans know this one is a classic. If you like Jethro Tull's music, pick this one up immediately if you don't already have it in your collection. Highly recommended.
One of the more 'acoustic' sounding affairs which quite rightly befits the album title. More folky than the progressive leanings of Thicks As A Brick and Aqualung. A fine album. Baker St Muse is the standout track for me, this has a more 'progressive' feel to it.
Vikings! Flutes! Dancers! Minstrels! Ian Anderson stuck in a recording booth! It's a great Tull record, sitting alongside their 'folk trilogy' very well as its sort of forgotten cousin.

This album belongs with the top Tull albums. Excellent.
