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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.1/100, a mean average of 79.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.2.

Pretty much the heaviest music got before Sabbath. The songs are also quite fantastic.

How possible to forget about this band? for the few persons who know this album, for what i hear/read, a real jam who can compare with no problems with Black Sabbath, Uriah Heep, Atomic Rooster, even Deep Purple.

Heavy Rock before the word was even coined, incredible. Sabbath, Heep, and Deep in the same package. Amazing guitar work.. Forgotten gem, impossible to bypass.
Known mostly just for Race with the Devil, which is a fantastic song.
