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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.6/100, a mean average of 77.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

Song for Europe is amazing. The whole album is nice and Stranded is the perfect hit on it. (Edited)
Third great album with a richer rounder sound this time. I'm not a big fan of Street Life. It was the single and rather overplayed as a result but the rest is great. (Edited)
I bought Stranded by Roxy Music on 25/08/2001 from on CD for £1.67 The version I have is on the record label E'G catalogue number EGCD 10 It entered the UK charts on 01/12/1973 and got to number 1 spending a total of 17 weeks on the chart.

The first Roxy Music album after the departure of Brian Eno. Stranded, is an excellent record, it still retains that art-rock sound, although, in truth, is doesn't quite have that quirky edge that the first two Roxy LP's did. Still, there sure some superb tracks. Street life, is a brilliant opener, and, amazona, and, a song for Europe, are also highlights. There's no weak moments here, and there were still another two excellent Roxy albums to come(three if you count, avalon). Wonderful. (Edited)
