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 75.9/100, a mean average of 75.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

Always used to love Alan Parsons Project; sorry to constate that is something like a "good for his period" album: that's a great work.

Excellent dad rock record. If you remove "Gemini" there is no song that isn't beautiful. Something like Supertramp or Electric light orchestra but better.

This is an excellent album by The Alan Parsons Project. There are some true diamonds on this album with 'Old and Wise' sitting at the top of my tree! If I ever get to be old and wise I'll have this played at my funeral! That by the way is an accolade, not a criticism.

This was the first Parsons Album I listened to. The Intro Song (Sirius/Eye in the Sky) is Just hypnotic. Other Key Tracks are 'Silence and I' and 'Wise and old'. The only problem I have with this album is, that it has too much pop.
(Children of the Moon, Fingers Burned, psychobabble, Step by step)

If he would have replaced psychobabble It might have been a flawless Album for me.

Nell'estate del 1982 ascoltavo "Eye in the sky" diverse volte al giorno, rapito da quella musica che a me, tredicenne, sembrava di un altro pianeta.

Excellent album with no weak tracks, a great mix of pop and prog. The title track and Old and Wise are the standouts
