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 69.7/100, a mean average of 69.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.8.

Конечно, это не Machine Head, но очень даже слушабельно, живенько так и для группы, играющей хард-рок более 50 лет, очень и очень хорошо. Молодёжь этот альбом, думаю, не прохавает, эта музыка для старшего поколения в тёртой джинсе и с пивом
This album is better than I expected. It's sound is more on on the level of.Mk II and III, which I think are the best line up. Though this line up is remarkably good.

Forte álbum de hard rock com alma blues rock e sacadas progressivas!

This album has no right to be as good as it is, it sounds like classic Deep Purple. In my top 100 for good reason.
