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 80.4/100, a mean average of 79.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

A solid record but there are too many filler tracks on here for it to be ranked amongst the elite. There shouldn't be as many skippable songs on a record as short as this as well as most of these tracks completely take you out of the music. The 3 worst offenders of this are Blue Condition, Dance The Night Away and We're Going Wrong. Despite this, there are some great moments on here and some outstanding performances on guitar (lead, rhythm and bass), percussion and piano. This is best evidenced on the elite songs such as Strange Brew, Sunshine Of Your Love and Tales Of Brave Ulysses. Overall, this record isn't consistent enough to be one of the greatest of all time but it is still hugely influential and quite enjoyable.
A classic ~ that more than 45 years later, still stands up to the test of time & technology!
The best Cream album, sounds very influential and a lot of songs are great and catchy at the same time.
Although everything isn't excellent for me - the guitar work must have been such a standout at the time with a real modern guitar sound. Some excellent and timeless classic riffs
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.
really good. excellent early guitar work Eric Clapton. decent songs. bluesy stuff
The fact that this is ranked as the 11th album of 1967 speaks volumes about what a year that was.

A pretty great album! Some personal favourites are 'Sunshine of Your Love', 'Strange Brew', and 'SWLABR'.

Classic Album. Rating (76.82)

Eric Clapton's increased contribution make this album what it is. His added vocals are a nice change of pace but it is the assault of guitars that dominate each of these concise songs. There are some sick riffs throughout and the playing is as clean as you can find. The album is a little lacking when it comes to improvisation but that is a creative choice.
