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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.5/100, a mean average of 74.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

An overlooked great album by Bolan better than *The Slider" and lies 2nd to Electric Warrior for consistency . None of the tracks were released as singles an unusual event back then. Overall the album holds together as a complete unit with Bolan introducing a more soulful sound.

This is the last great T. Rex album!!! If you like T Rex this is a must have.
This record has 5 really good tracks. It's a very interesting record, brilliant in places but missing the mark somehow. If you into T.Rex though you know it's essential.

The start is somewhat slow, but after that it's solid Bolan, with the occasional grandeur verging on bombastic - but on the right side. Good.

A little less consistent than Electric Warrior and The Slider, but Tanx has some excellent songs.
