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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 81.4/100, a mean average of 80.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

I love the music here but as half the album consists of music off of classic Who albums, I’m left wanting a better tidy up record.

A very nice compilation of pre-Who's Next material
A great collection of Who material. Nice to have the non album singles on a nice little package. Highly recommended.

Strong and young energy is on every track

Greatest compilation ever because it captures the early Who perfectly, better than High Tide for The Rolling Stones
Amazing album! A great selection of songs which will grace any collection! Substitute, I Can See For Miles, I'm A Boy, My Generation and Pinball Wizard were my favorites.
