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 65.9/100, a mean average of 63.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 64.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.3.

I like this way album better than what they were to become. Decent rock with shades of prog. Reminded me in parts to early 70's Uriah Heep. For me the last track 'Mystery Mountain' is the absolute standout.
Great hard/progressive rock. 1975 and long before the band nosedived into commercial inanity around 78/79.
Not what most people think of as Journey without Steve Perry. A pretty average debut.
Well, I'd like to expand on that comment...The album itself is kind of jammy and wanky in a bad way, but the guitar in Once in a Lifetime is mesmerizing and I still listen to it once in a lifeti-while, I mean.
When Journey was actually pretty good!
