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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 72.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

Beautiful arena-prog album. The title cut is positively epic.
Best Track: Lonely Street
This very energetic album carries some of Kansas' most notable and most underrated songs.
The sign of things to come - wonderful lengthy tracks such as Song For America and Incomudro matched with mid-length tracks such as Lonely Street. Steve Walsh's voice at his best.
