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 12% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.4/100, a mean average of 75.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.1.

There isn't really a lot I can add to the comments below this one. Superb debut album by a very talented group of top notch musicians. If you like progressive music with a harder edge, this will tick your box. The shared vocal duties keep the interest through this truly enjoyable listening experience.

Supergroups rarely live up to their potential, but Flying Colors pulls it off with ... well ... Flying Colors! This is an outstanding album and these great musicians from seemingly disparate find common space on each song, even as the songs reflect a great deal of variety.

Excellent debut. Fantastic musicality and instrumentation.
For a side project, the amount of chemistry between the band members is unreal. Very cool album, and I would easily recommend it to any fan of progressive music.
