Rating metrics: Help 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 77.8/100, a mean average of 77.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.7.

This is where the legend began, listen to that guitar on a long moving song like Phoenix! Just wonderful.

One of the essential guitar records of all time, packed to the brim with hard rock, blues, and prog in germinal form. It's crazy to me how underrated and forgotten Wishbone Ash has become when you can put an album like this on and enjoy every second of it. Let's get these guys some more recognition on this website and in general, they deserve it.

This album packs more amazing guitar work than any other prog album I've ever heard.
