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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 75.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.8.

Dos rarezas, un grupo de rock progresivo americano y el violín como uno de sus instrumentos principales, hicieron de Kansas un grupo de culto. Su primer álbum permanece como uno de los mejores.

A very solid debut from the masters of arena-prog. The album is well anchored by its outstanding middle cuts, 'Belexes' and 'Journey from Mariabronn.'

The only real problem with this album is that it has too much Kansas style for non-Kansas fans to enjoy. The tracks are good, but it's not a perfect album. It's still worth listens.
