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 80.4/100, a mean average of 80.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.4.

a good compilation of the bands most innovative and creative period.

This set covers the period that is by general consensus the kinks most creative period although not their most commercially successful.
I love, love this band!!! Yet I have a hard time trying to find ways to convince other people of this band's genious (especially the Davies bros). This 2 disc set brilliantly captures the magic of The Kinks and is the best place to start if you want to get into this band.
Pete Townshend, of The Who, said once that he wished he was as good a songwriter as Ray Davies of The Kinks. Individual Who, or Beatles, or almost any great group's songs are more stirring than these. But there is a consistency here -- a hatred of where the modern world is going, and a ferocious skill for tunefulness -- where Davies has carved out a fragile, amazing niche of his own.
