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 73.1/100, a mean average of 73.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.3.

In general, the early UFOs are not at all like the UFOs of the mid-late 70s, which fans know and love, it was before Michael Schenker, and they were not yet a real hard rock band. They were more interested in the cosmic and mystical component and looked more like Blue Oyster Cult than Black Sabbath or Deep Purple.
All things are strong. Probably this is their best album of career
