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 80.5/100, a mean average of 79.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.9.

Disraeli Gears is Creams most solid album.
The first four songs are excellent - two classics and two deep cuts.
Second side starts strong with Tales of Brave Ulysses - one of the masterpieces, followed by SWABLR (She Walks Like a Bearded Rainbow) and the classic blues standard Outside Woman Blues. The two Bruce songs on side two are just ok, despite his great singing they drag a little.
Blue Condition and Mothers Lament are obviously rubbish. Ginger Baker should not be given a microphone. (Edited)

Great album from amazing musicians who know how to play their instruments. This is real psychedelic greatness. Not Pop-Psychedelic but Blues-Psychedelic. The one that really makes you feel weird. (Edited)
The classic Cream album. Disraeli gears, fuses blues with the more psychedelic sounds of the era. Wonderful musicianship and some fine songs in, sunshine of your love, strange brew, and, tales of brave Ulysses. There are a few filler tracks, but the majority of it is great with a lovely sense of humour. (Edited)
I'll probably upset a lot of people, but I think Eric Clapton is overrated. That said, this is a really good album, with consistently really good songs from start to finish. I'm just not blown away. Not that being really good is a bad thing.
This is a really solid album. The problem with grading the album itself though lies in the gap between the best and worst tracks. The top tracks are remarkable, but there are several true skips. (Edited)
