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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 86.1/100, a mean average of 84.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

Really feeling for Pete Townsend here. Tantalizingly close to transcendence. Even falling short of its creative ambitions, Who's Next is still their strongest work up to this point. Armed with the best sounding songs of their career and a sense of purpose, there's not a wasted moment. Even the songs that don't as hard feel essential. It's as timeless as classic rock gets.

Nunca he sido gran fan de The Who, me gustan sus canciones pero de forma más individual, me cuesta trabajo escuchar sus discos completos, pero este en particular, me encanta, es un disco corto, donde todas sus canciones son joyas por sí mismas, y tres clásicos absolutos de la banda están aquí: Baba O'Riley, Won't Get Fooled Again y Behind Blue Eyes, ademas de otras canciones geniales como My Wife o Love Ain't For Keeping.
End to end this is a masterful album superbly performed. Definitely belongs in my favorites which makes me realize that Townshend is in another world. Every song is my favorite on this album. Alright, Behind Blue Eyes is it. This is one of those albums that belongs in Rock and Roll History.
Easily one of the best albums of all time, amazing from start to finish 10/10

Killer opener. Killer closer. Half of what's in between bloody great. A couple wouldn't of sounded out of place on 'Tommy'. I found a couple of tracks just average but overall a decent album. Gotta love the bass. John Entwistle was a true legend
Great album
I absolutely detest the cover. Is this the best they could come up with at that immature time in their lives? However, that off my chest, the music makes up for the cover. Won’t Get Fooled Again is a personal favourite. My favourite album by The Who has to be the psychedelic one!
A brilliant rock album that shows that the 1970s era of the band is going to be different from what preceded it and I firmly believe it is to the betterment of the band.
The first album I ever bought from F.L.Moore in Luton. Still enjoy listening to it.
