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 86.0/100, a mean average of 84.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

No he llegado a amar este disco. Es genial. De eso no hay duda. Incluso mi calificación es buena porque cada canción es buena. El problema es que lo siento extremadamente "inconsistente". Y mi inconsistencia se basa en que Marquee Moon, probablemente una de las 10 mejores canciones de todos los tiempos, por lo menos en mi lista, no es alcanzada en ningún momento por ninguna otra canción del disco. Todas las demás tienen cosas originales. Disfruto mucho de Friction y Elevation, por ejemplo, pero el album cae lamentablemente en la maldición de no igualar en ningún punto al tema que le da el nombre. Y es una pena. (Edited)
Along with The Clash's London Calling, this is undoubtedly the finest moment of the 70s, an album whose influence can be heard throughout rock music history. Containing some of the most innovative instrumentation and song structures, Marquee Moon is an album that was surely ahead of its time, as illustrated perfectly by the almost 10 minute opus that is the album's title track.

Everyone loves this album, I wish I could hear what you hear. I hate it, to me there a no redeeming qualities. I have to force myself to get through it. I’ve forced myself to listen to it at least 12 times thinking eventually it would “click”. Unfortunately it has not. I want to like this album, it should be in my wheelhouse, however I not only don’t like it- I actively hate it (Edited)
