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 70.5/100, a mean average of 68.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.2.

Back to form, this is good. Elements of the old Yes sound here, good tracks and the vocals are great.

I was rather curious about the lead vocals of Benoît David. His last efford with Mystery was great. To be honest, I enjoyed his vocals better on 'One Among the Living'. Maybe Trevor Horn thought the same wheb replacing him on Yes' next album. Or was it just average songwriting on this Yes album??

A great comeback album after a 10-year hiatus, further cementing their achievement as a great long-lasting Prog band. :)
