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 80.9/100, a mean average of 80.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

I have really tried to liked King crimson, I have their seven first albums, but records like this doesn't make it easy. When they're at their worst King Crimson takes element from different genres and mix them together so the result is lesser than what goes into it, if that makes any sense. This is boring both as rock, as jazz, as classical and whatever.
A difficult album to get into but worth it. Only one song I don't especially care for. The opening and closing title tracks are excellent!

This is nowhere near the Court of The Crimson King, there are only two enjoyable tracks here for me - the two parts of title track. Songs here are too long and haven't got much substance in my opinion.
Part of me wants to give this album the perfect score. All the tracks are amazing. But I can't ignore the fact I dislike Wetton's vocals. As much as I love his bass playing, the vocals put me off.
Still a masterpiece. 9 out of 10.

This album is Deep Prog. Not for the faint-hearted.

I had seen them in 1971, had all of their albums (including Earthbound) and was excited when LTIA was announced. Bruford leaving Yes at their most successful? This ought to be exciting.
It knocked me out.
A friend complained that they were adjusting the volume controls on his stereo.
I saw them three times in the next year. Once with Slade.

It's an utterly mad sound. A bit too proggy for me.
