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 78.8/100, a mean average of 78.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.9.

Great classic rock. Especially appreciate that these tunes have not become sonic wallpaper due to overplay like so many of their contemporaries (Edited)

Wishbone should have been bigger; I have always liked them.
Another very notable Wishbone Ash album with prog/hard rock themes and stunning guitar. FUBB might be my favorite instrumental piece ever, and that's saying something considering some of the stuff Genesis and Camel made!
I listen to an album like this and wonder why Wishbone Ash wasn't bigger. Super crisp instrumentation highlighted by the band's always excellent guitar work, made both accessible enough for casual listeners and intricate enough for deeper fans. Talk about a band full of hidden gems
