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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.3/100, a mean average of 77.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

I have problems getting rooted for the Moodies with just one listen. The sameness of songs, lack of clear hits and the mellotron?
This is now my 4th album in a row. Perhaps there is not much time to spend with these albums.
I found this album to recapture the whimsical, introspective aura that was so prominent in 'In Search of...' but misplaced in 'On the Threshold...'. Lots of great tracks throughout this LP.
While avid Moodies fans refer to 7 standout albums, less devoted fans might consider this the final LP worth of full playthrough. Only the most inspired listeners need listen through the proceeding albums.

It's hard to pick a favourite Moodies album. This is another very good one, but the one that particularly stands out is "Candle of Life", did anyone else notice that part resembling Jean-Michel Jarre's "Oxygene IV"?
Apparently Mike Pinder used to work for the Company who made the Mellotron. His work with the Company obviously contributed to his expertise in using the instrument to its full potential. This is a beautiful album, positively brimming with Mellotron for all you prog affectionados who know what a Tron is and what it could do. I should have listened to Side 2 first as my introduction to the album was the very unsettling drone (probably the Tron) on side 1, track 1, which goes on for just a little too long. The production on side 2 is also better than side 1 strangely. Without doubt, years ahead of its time and an early prog masterpiece.'Eyes of a Child' with its Tron strings and harp glissandos is a personal favourite.

How does one choose a favorite among the classic seven Moodies albums? I have no idea, but if I did have to choose, either this or Days of Future Passed would take the prize.
“Beyond” and the gorgeous “Gypsy” elevate it to more than it really is.
