Rating metrics: Help 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 71.4/100, a mean average of 70.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.7.

The future genius of Electric Warrior is slowly coming up underneath. Not there yet.

The 5th T.REX album proper but the first to use the shortened name. This was a breakthrough album for them it is in the same vein as Beard Of Stars but a little more cohesive. The single Ride A White Swan was already in the charts when this album was released although it does not appear on the album. Standout tracks are Seagull Woman, Jewel, Childe, Diamond Meadows & Is It Love. The Wizard is a reworking of an old song and is also worth a listen at 8mins in length. Electric Warrior was to follow this as was the title of Superstar.
