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 68.0/100, a mean average of 66.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

There is much of the feel of old school Bolan on the album, especially in the modest hit single "New York City", which could have come from Electric Warrior, and "Chrome Sitar" which has elements reminiscent of his transitional albums Beard of Stars and T. Rex. Makes for attractive, but not essential listening. The album does have the oddities of the pretentious opening electric tone poem "Futurist Dragon", which fails in whatever it was attempting, and ends up sounding like a reject off a Prince album, and "Theme For A Dragon" which sounds like a failed attempt at soundtrack music. The second half is less interesting, unsuccessfully incorporating some mild disco funk probably at the suggestion of his partner Gloria Jones.

Not the best from Marc Bolan this album & Zip Gun Boogie are very similar and are regarded as his 2 worst albums. There are though 4 good tracks here - New York City, Dawn Storm, Dreamy Lady & Sensation Boulevard. The 2 short "Dragon" instrumentals are unnecessary as is Calling All Destroyers. I have to say that this is IMO his worst outing.
