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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.7/100, a mean average of 79.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.6.

I have never listened to any Moody Blues album, except this one. I have had it for a long time, and I love it.

Excellent compilation. There are no bad Moodies songs from this period, so picking a "best of" is naturally difficult and this is a pretty good stab at it.

This album is an excellent starting point for a life-long love affair with this band (it worked out like that with me anyway). All the material is from the so-called 'core-7' albums from '67 to '72, recorded by the classic line-up of Hayward, Pinder, Thomas, Lodge and Edge. No crappy disco-ish/synth-pop stuff then. Although technically a compilation, this 2LP features a couple of new (that is 1974) re-mizes by the sixth Moody Tony Clark, the differences might not be huge, but the new versions always gain, especially the sped-up Eyes of a Child and Legend of a Mind with the flute solo more in synch and a more lucid coda. There are a couple of bars missing (The Actor)or appearing (Have You Heard)in other songs, too, always to the point (apart from the cut-off punch-line of Dear Diary) Plus there are those beautiful segues (And The Tide Rushes into New Horizons - magnificent): another early Moody Blues trademark and with a compilation you had obviously more possibilities for clever blends. The mixes of Legend of a Mind, Question, Watching and Waiting (backing vocals' prominence restored!,) Actor and Eyes of a Child as featured here I consider definitive. There are hundreds of Moody Blues compilations available but this is the only reasonable one.
