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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.7/100, a mean average of 73.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.0.

The last of April Wines pure rockers before going 80s, this makes for a very good listen.
Saw these guys on The Old Grey Whistle Test on New Years Eve back in my teens. Was hooked from then on, I still have the vinyl copy which sounds superb through a Riga deck and B & W speakers, their version of 21 Century Schizoid Man does King Crimson proud

Nice middle-of-the-road rock album. Nothing regulatory or ground-breaking, but nothing cringeworthy either. A solid rock listen.
Typical late '70s rock band. Can't say I was a huge fan, but I didn't turn the radio station when they came on, either. I Like to Rock is one of my all-time favorites, however.

I'd hardly call them genius... but they're a straightforward classic rock band, better than most of their peers.

Genius album/band!
