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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.3/100, a mean average of 77.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.2.

Hidden and lost prog classic for me and many others. Recommended experience! The long songs are haunting!

Hard to believe this album was recorded and mixed in a single session. Four top notch musicians making an album that few people will have heard. Such a shame. The best tracks are 3,4,5 & 6. The last two, taking up the whole of side 2, are real psychedelic blues rock jam sessions. For me - stand out. Wow.

Very good psyched out rock, cream on acid drenched in the wonderful sound of (Egg, Uriel, Canterbury types) Dave Stewart's keyboard and Hillage guitar. Some of the first tracks drums sound like DJ Shadow, especially on the Keith Mansfield cover, with open drums at the start. I can't believe Who Sampled that nobody has based a track on Queen St Gang.

A pleasant jam rock psyche album. The guitar creates some nice spacey sounds.
