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 81.9/100, a mean average of 80.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

Un gran disco de Art Rock, casi todas las canciones aquí son memorables, los teclados son tan distintivos y la voz tan icónica, además tiene 3 de las mejores canciones de Supertramp, como son The Logical Song, Breakfast In America y Goodbye Stranger, canciones que cualquiera conoce porque han sido tocadas en radio desde hace mas de 40 años. Disco clásico. (Edited)
This is a perfect album: from the front cover to melodies, from the production to musicians. A perfect 10 and a strong position in the best 100 ever. (Edited)
Shortlisted for album of the year at the Grammys in 1980. The winner that year was 52nd Street by Billy Joel. This album is the one from the shortlist that should have won (Edited)
A great album, filled with hit songs and memorable tracks. 9.5/10! (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)
