Rating metrics: Help 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 70.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

If you are going to own a Sky album, make it this one. I am fortunate to own this on white vinyl. I remember Tocatta being played on Top of the Pops back in my School days and appreciated what Sky did with it musically. Having painfully learnt the piece on piano many years ago, it is tricky to play. For something different I do enjoy the album once in a while. It allows a journey through some classics without being too 'high brow'. The opener is as good a Prog track as you might find from any Prog band from the top five prog artists of the seventies. 'Sky' is a pretty naff name for a band, if they had chosen a name with a little more mistique perhaps they may have soared to greater heights.
