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 69.8/100, a mean average of 67.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.2.

A brilliant album… Oh, and Roger’s has one of the best voices in rock history. (In my opinion) … (Edited)
Morning Sun,Man Needs a Woman and Burning Sky' are best here. (Edited)
I've always thought this was somewhat of an underrated album. My personal favorites from it are Leavin' You, Heartbeat, Too Bad, and Man Needs Women, though Burnin' Sky was the most popular song. Like Water, Passing Time, Everything I need and Peace of Mind are a little weak. Master of Ceremony, however, is downright awful. (Edited)
It has a cool cover. (Edited)
