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 86.3/100, a mean average of 85.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.9.

Easily one of the best albums of all time, amazing from start to finish 10/10
"Who's Next" presents a goofy, clumsy amalgamation of progressive rock synthesizers and arena-rock songwriting. Aside from the undoubtedly iconic singles, this record largely just reeks of a stale, once-influential band starting to lose touch.
Killer opener. Killer closer. Half of what's in between bloody great. A couple wouldn't of sounded out of place on 'Tommy'. I found a couple of tracks just average but overall a decent album. Gotta love the bass. John Entwistle was a true legend
Great album
I absolutely detest the cover. Is this the best they could come up with at that immature time in their lives? However, that off my chest, the music makes up for the cover. Won’t Get Fooled Again is a personal favourite. My favourite album by The Who has to be the psychedelic one!
A brilliant rock album that shows that the 1970s era of the band is going to be different from what preceded it and I firmly believe it is to the betterment of the band.
The first album I ever bought from F.L.Moore in Luton. Still enjoy listening to it.
Very good classic rock album, excellent tunes. I love Baba O'Riley especially at the end, of course Won't Get Fooled Again is great. Behind Blue Eyes is another beautiful one on the same level as The Song Is Over. Overall very good album.
Surely one of the albums with the best opening and closing tracks ever? The other 8 tracks are nice but nothing too special. Highlights are Baba O'Riley, Won't Get Fooled Again, The Song is Over.
Los Who crearon dos obras maestras en los 70, sus mejores trabajos, Who's Next y Quadrophenia.
