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 is rated in the top 12% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.5/100, a mean average of 74.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

Después de dos maravillas como Tea For The Tillerman y Teaser And The Firecat, Cat Stevens aún tiene inspiración para crear esta magnífica secuela.

If you're looking for Cat's sweet melodies and tenderly contemplative lyrics, look elsewhere. This one is dark, brooding, biting, and challenging.

That said, I find it to be far away his greatest, and most compelling album. He loads this one with overpowering dramatic impact and the natural gravel of his voice comes out perfectly.
