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 73.2/100, a mean average of 72.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

Good debut-album by one of the best voices in the business . Mr. Jon Anderson of Yes . This is the beginning of a fruitful collaboration with Keyboard/Synthesizer-Maestro Vangelis .

This is a very YES album. At this point in time, the prog was slowly beginning the downhill in popularity and the heydays were mostly over. A solid performance ,but I cant help that I have heard these songs before

A too often forgotten concept prog album. The vinyl version with 6 pages gatefold and lyrics on the sleeve was a great plus. Those were days when albums were great artistic statements even beyond the music. This album should definitely be turned into a movie by Peter Jackson, the secene with the creation of the Moorglade mover would be exceptional.
