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 71.1/100, a mean average of 70.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.6.

There's some great moments on here. My favourites are Loving Sea with its exquisite harmonies, The Wheel's Turning, Out Of The Body, Wolflight and Heart Song. I can hear nods to King Crimson and Jeff Lynne but there's also a nod to Steve's past too. Not his best but he's done a lot worse.
C'mon, there must be Steve Hackett fans out there? I purchased this purely for the 5.1 surround. Don't bother! But in stereo this is a brilliant album. Never a Genesis or early Steve Hackett fan, I was pleasantly surprised with his singing voice and the consistently great tunes he has on this album. A gem for me.
