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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 82.0/100, a mean average of 80.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

Wonderful album. It is fun, humorous, and is progressive rock, which is good. (Edited)

This was the era of albums and the first track on side two was Long Way Home, a kind of haunting lyric and song that set a tone for the side. While the first side was poppy and likable, the second just a bit richer. (Edited)
Not a perfect album, but Logical Song is one of the finest crafted songs in history and anyone on Earth can immediately relate to it. The title track is a lot of fun too and everyone seems to know the hook without knowing the actual song or band, thanks to some rap group in the 2000's that covered it. Take The Long Way home is the only reason I still check the radio because they play it all time in my district. (Edited)
A very very close second to Crime of the Century with 'The Logical Song' and 'Goodbye Stranger' standing out particularly. However, for me 'Take the Long Way Home' is the cherry on the cake! (Edited)

Once in a while I come across a classic album that I hadn't given much thought to on my initial listen but I end up revisiting and it really opens up to me. That is Breakfast in America. The first half of the album is some of the best music of it's era and it ends with a bang.
"The Logical Song" might be the best Supertramp song of Hodgson's career and the bass line in the outro will live rent free in my head. One of those truly perfect songs measure by measure, piece by piece in the arrangement and composition. Not to even talk about that saxophone. (Edited)
