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 has a Bayesian average rating of 64.7/100, a mean average of 57.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 57.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.9.

This album bookends the end of the band's classic and most successful period. However, it is the underappreciated gem of this period.
If you are a fan of the rockier side of Steeleye Span found on Commoner's Crown or Now We Are Six then you should listen to this album. A solid release. Sligo Maid and Sir James The Rose are outstanding tracks and can stand up to any of the band's best work.
In my opinion, overall it's certainly better than Now We Are Six and All Around My Hat.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
