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 71.2/100, a mean average of 70.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

This album brings back memories from the summer of 1973. Along with Uriah Heep Live, this was on a constant spin, not just the bangers: Tokyo, Rat Bat Blue and Super Trouper. I actually liked the B-side stuff too. Unneccarily underrated Purple album. The last one from MKII
Great album, very psychedelic, very underrated.
I've never understood why this album is so unpopular. After Made in Japan it's the one I listen to the most. The moments of poppy psychedelia in Mary Long, Woman from Tokyo and our Lady give a glimpse of where Deep Purple might have headed had Gillan & Glover not left. Also, it's a shame that Painted Horse wasn't included on the album, I've always liked that track. (Edited)
Best Track: Woman From Tokyo
Disco muy menospreciado. Pero Woman from Tokyo y Rat bat blue son dos joyas. Y el resto es bastante entretenido. (Edited)
