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 92.3/100, a mean average of 90.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

For me (but not for YOU of course, you don´t have to tell me) this album, and ProgRock in general, is proof that ProgRock is played and listened to by people who actually don´t like music, but are just wallowing in the illusion of having exquisite taste, and who would better be off doing other, even more boring things.

Best psychedelic album of all time that matches its success. This is a great surround sound listening album with the non-musical elements that stand out. Love the vocalization in the song Brain Damage and the Us and them is one of my favorite songs on this album. You can hear the experimentation that went on creating it and great cover concept.

Once you have all, most, managed to find how/where to put this legendary band yourr best artists of all list; then comes the highly enjoyable, but ultimately impossible, task of deciding the quality order of their long, varied and majestic list of great albums.
