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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.9/100, a mean average of 74.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.2.

A very good Genesis album, and there is no band quite like them. This album has 3 instrumental pieces which is an unusually high number for them. Maybe that is due to Peter Gabriel just leaving the band? This is a very understated album which continually flies under the radar but I always enjoy listening to it. (Edited)
One of Genesis' underrated albums. For me, it is on the same level as A Trick of the Tail. Sometimes I even find it a little better. (Edited)
Not quite as good as Trick of the Tail from earlier in 1976 but still a very good album!

I find this album to be quite forgettable and every time I revisit it I struggle to recall the high points of the music. Bar a few tracks, most songs just pass the time and don't really captivate me. This makes it feel like a long 50 minutes. Having said this, there is still quite a lot to love about this record when you put it on. There is some phenomenal and diverse instrumentation basically on every song. The more delicate acoustic guitar moments are the ones that I always favour when I am listening. Phil Collins is just as good as ever as well and his vocal delivery is amazing on most of the tracks. However, some songs are far too elongated and conclude far past their natural finishing point which leaves us waiting for the next song to start. Overall, a record that I enjoy every time I play it but nothing grabs me on the album and keeps pulling me back, it is definitely worth a listen though.
