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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.2/100, a mean average of 76.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.9.

A collection of very good songs made excellent by exceptional playing and a smooth, dynamic feel. 9/10!

Very good. I like the long songs and the guitar parts in them
A truly fantastic album and my favorite from Traffic. Definitely underrated on this website, everything here is a classic, most notably the title track. If you're a fan of progressive rock, folk, jazz fusion, or any similar genre, you should probably love this album as well. I recommend it for anybody, really.
A very lysergic work. An album for when the walls are breathing; it was 1971.
My favorite Traffic album. Moments that are at times slow and introspective (the lovely "Many A Mile To Freedom") to the loose and funky ("Light Up or Leave Me Alone") and of course the sprawling epic title track. A MUST own!

In my opinion: the greatest Traffic album

Traffic was a great band that you don't hear about much. This album is one of my favorite albums of the 70's
Best Track: Light Up or Leave Me Alone
