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 78.8/100, a mean average of 78.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.1.

Excellent Tull album, Bouree is a personal favourite having seen Tull perform this live on two occasions. More of a folk vibe.

Frankly one of the very very few ecceptions where i prefer the II version (with living in the past & sweet dreams), but still great stuff.

Primera obra maestra de Jethro Tull, abriendo caminos por los que transitaría en los años siguientes. Hay folk (Fat Man), fusión de jazz, rock y música clásica (el inconmensurable Bourée), hard rock, blues...

Less blues and more rock because blues fell out of fashion. The original guitarist was thrown out and the road was completely open to the inviolable leadership of Ian Anderson.
I don't like the cover. It's ugly and does not correspond with the rock and hard rock of the music.

I would say this album is rockier than for example Thick as a Brick. But this album is still fantastic and includes two of my favourite Tull songs, Bouree and We Used to Know.

In-your-face punchy and energetic album, kinda like Zepp's first albums.
The playing is brillant as ever in JT and the songwriting too. What brings this down a bit is the poor audio quality but anyway a great album!

One of their most straightforward albums. Full of good songs, but the CD version is the one to get as it includes, living in the past, which is Jethro tull's greatest single. Good stuff.
