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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 73.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

Obscured psychedelic gem from the late 60's era by composer of "The Electric Prunes"' "Mass in F Minor", an equally favorite album. And as it turns out, pretty influential as well.
Best ever user, go to David Bowie's Low album and you will see exactly what I mean
To Pam: I don't know if he/she's copy and pasting. The grammatical error "wouldn't of" makes it seem pretty unprofessional. Seems like the sort of comment that's trying to make a reader want to listen to the album, and that's what we should want here, ya know? Let him make his non-conversational comments. Seems more helpful than this comment anyway.
To People Investigating This Album: I don't know if I've ever heard the whole thing, but from what I have, it sounds pretty cool. Strings and things, dark and brooding, instrumental stuff that DJ Shadow and other samplers like to use. Um. Yeah. Sorry.
Why don't you just stay on the website you plagiarize all of these comments from.
I don't know why you bother using them though
They are incredibly tedious
Based on a William Blake poem, this 1968 album arranged for bass, drums and strings, skillfully integrates funk breakbeats, orchestral arrangements and psychedelic melodies. What emerges is a sound that is way ahead of its time. In fact, it wouldn't of sounded out of place at any dance event of the late 1990s. Earl Palmer's drumming is phenomenal.
