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 24% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

The album has some edge. As a singer; Graham Bonnets vocals tend to be uncontrolled partly because he never had any formal training and refused to get any. He was fired from the band shortly after this release for being drunk onstage and exposing himself. His tenure w/ Rainbow was short lived as well. A pattern was beginning to form with his restless career.

The best of the early MSG records (possibly the best ever). Quite a departure from the style of the earlier records and the first with a quality vocalist (apologies to Gary Barden) in Graeme Bonnett. A rock solid rhythm section of Chris Glenn and Ted McKenna (the late great Cozy Powell was not missed here) provides a great base for Mad Mikey's frenetic fretwork. Check out Ulcer in particular - Samauri and Desert Song are also strong listens.
