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 69.8/100, a mean average of 69.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.3.

Pretty darn good return!
Surprisingly good album. The flute was incredible, unfortunately Ian's voice drag this album down a little bit but the melody is great.
Tras una primera escucha, es difícil hacer un comentario objetivo. Está claro que el tiempo ha perjudicado la voz de Anderson y que su inspiración difícilmente volverá a ser la de su época clásica. Este álbum no nos devuelve al Jethro Tull de los 70, pero sí al de sus mejores momentos de los 80. Particularmente, me quedo con sus canciones más caseras, pero es cuestión de gustos.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
