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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.6/100, a mean average of 73.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.7.

OMG! Such a discovery for me! Mostly strummed acoustic guitar and Hitchcock's voice spewing weird and wonderful lyrics about creatures great and small, like furry green atom bowls, and looking at one's self in the shower. A beautiful twisty peek into a warped and whacky, kaleidoscopic mind of a demented soul. This one is a keeper and started me down the path to Hitchcock's entire catalogue. Sadly, I am currently in the search for a replacement for my 4th copy of this album.

One of those albums that creates its own world. It's a fog-bound England where the trams and trains are spirit-powered. Plus those warnings about child rearing.

All'ex "ragazzo soffice" Robyn Hitchcock basta un niente per creare il suo capolavoro, anzi meno cose maneggia, meglio fa. Gli basta infatti una chitarra acustica, al più un basso ( acustico pure quello ), rarissime amplificazioni; a volte anche solo la voce a cappella. In questo modo riesce a focalizzare meglio le sue visioni da Syd Barrett non bruciato dall'acido, a far veicolare meglio la sostanza senza che a prevalere sia la forma.
