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 72.8/100, a mean average of 73.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.4.

Yeah this is arguably Peter Hamill at his best. The lyrics are so complex and thoughtful, even more than most of his other work. Just try dissecting the words to a song like "No More The Submariner" or "The Comet, the Course, the Tail" It's almost unreal how much wisdom he imparts.

Part of the early canon. If you love PH, you cannot not love that album. If you do not love that album, you do not love PH.
