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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.6/100, a mean average of 71.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.0.

This was the first album I ever purchased and it was £3.99 back in the good ole 70s. A bargain. I still have the vinyl now. I like this album and it's weird that no matter who left Genesis they still managed knock out another great album, and this is a great example. Steve Hackett had left the band to leave only 3 members. I love the mellow sounds which were very much my memory of the late 70s and maybe a reaction to all the punk rock in the UK at the time. Stand out song and a hit single in the album is Follow You Follow Me, but many other strong tracks, and listening now I detect a move away from the prog rock era and a slow drift into commercial music, but still retaining musical integrity.

All of the albums that Genesis released in the 1970's were good .
Some were better , some were just good. Like this one , i have to admit .
Sans Steve Hackett and his recognizable Guitar-playing-style, the eleven tracks feature some of the best keyboard -works by Tony Banks . A very underrated Album (Edited)

I'm not a big fan of Genesis from the outset, and this album offers me many songs that lack dynamics and quality. The album sound is stuffed and loud, with no respite for the listener. So totally forgettable in my music listening (Edited)
5, 7, 8 - so so, others average ??
I think this is an underrated album because it was the first attempt of the 3-man band era. It's still very proggy in spots and hits a lot of sweet spots, even if it is uneven. But I think it's unique! (Edited)
