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 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.1/100, a mean average of 74.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.4.

This is a fun album IMO. I don't understand why it so low in the ranking. I guess it just shows how many great albums they've put out. This is better than a lot of groups top releases.

This is cool. For some reason I like Sleepwalker the best of all their late seventies albums.

Stellar first half with Superman a personal favorite. The second half drags along a little.
One of many records that my mother either sold at a garage sale or trashed after I moved out. Granted vinyl was "dead" at the time but it still stings. :)
I would smoke that cigarette from the cover if I could! Great album from a great band!
