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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.3/100, a mean average of 74.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

Re entered with yet another correction. BEA doesn't seem to be allowing edits to latest comments any more. No doubt a software gletch! Opinion hasn't changed on this album. Excellent album.

I have all of Budgie's early works on vinyl and all the albums are excellent, this one though is top of the tree. Budgie had a natural ability to move from Black Sabbathesque riffery into mello beautiful balladry. The first two tracks on this album are a prime example.

Worth having for Napoleon Bona parts 1 & 2 alone, one of the all time heavy rock masterpieces.

Budgie's best album in my opinion, although all are pretty good. Well worth getting on Vinyl. A super tight 3 piece rock unit.
