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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 82.4/100, a mean average of 81.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

Supper's Ready is truely one of the songs of all time!
Just kidding. It is a masterpiece.
Love the entire album.
The most consistent Genesis album. Wonderful musicianship throughout, great lyrics and a good dose of 1970s Englishness.
A criminally underrated album.
Solid Genesis record
A wonderful album that features Genesis's crowning achievement, the 23-minute epic Supper's Ready!
This album is a display of musical greatness by a group that is at the peak of its powers. This is evidenced best on 23 minute epic that is Supper's Ready. This song just astounds me every time I listen to it and it elevates an already fantastic album even higher. The progression on that song is simply genius and everything just seems to culminate into this creation of pure perfection. The rest of the songs while being a little step down from this are still outstanding other than Time Table which does feel a little out of place for me but it doesn't take you out of the music. Instrumentally, this release is a marvel with the performances we are treated to being nothing short of beautiful. While every instrument plays its part if I was to pick the highlights for me they would be the guitars, percussion, flute and pianos. The solos are phenomenal and even though the music is so diverse in terms of instruments every single one is allowed to shine and all add up to create a brilliant atmosphere and a deeply rich soundscape. Then you add the vocals and lyrics on top which are just the icing on the cake. Overall, this album is a must listen for any fan of music and really set Genesis aside as one of the kings of prog rock.
Amazing album, instrumental is really good and great voice over it. Supper's Ready sounds beautiful throughout all 23 minutes. But the other tracks are great as well.
This is an important album for Genesis and for prog. Genesis pushed the envelope and they did it boldly.
They don't touch me as other acts do, like Yes, King Crimson or Pink Floyd.
This is a masterful album nonetheless.
The two songs bookending this album are reason enough to buy this prog classic. In my view there isn't a lot between this album and Selling England by the Pound. I was never lucky enough to see Genesis live in their heyday but I have seen Steve Hackett and his band perform Watcher of the Skies on two occasions and it was superb on both occasions!
A triumph of production both in the sound surface sense and in a put-togetherness sense. Supper's Ready is such a fun whimsical majestic concoction to listen to (a thoroughly planned and flawlessly executed one, of course). Get 'Em Out By Friday starts well but goes on for too long. Horizons is a wonderful little rest stop.
