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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.4/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

I can't believe this has the same producer as their last two albums. This album sounds like a low energy muddled mess compared to the previous two. Where's the electricity? (Edited)
Best Tracks: Life is Strange, Tenement Lady
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.

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.

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.
