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 73.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

Essential listening in the "Mott the Hoople" catalogue, and one of the great albums of the seventies. Stand out tracks are "All the Way from Memphis," "Hymn for the Dudes," and "I wish I were Your Mother," however there isn't a weak song on the entire album.
Although Mott's LPs "All the Young Dudes" and "Brain Capers" are critically acclaimed and highly recommended, this is the best LP the band ever recorded, and is well deserving of a place high on the list of the 500 greatest rock albums of all time.
Mott the hoople's best album. Mott, sees the band at the peak of their powers. Great songs in, honaloochie boogie, and, all the way from Memphis. Good time rock'n'roll.
