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 78.2/100, a mean average of 77.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.0.

A diffcult album to fatbhim as there are so many styles and tones throughout. The last 3 show a consistent tone and beautiful sound to get yourself immersed to MB

An ambitious follow-up to 'In Search of the Lost Chord', but it lacks the mystique and coordination of its predecessor. Their are interesting moments on both sides of the LP, but I find it to be outdone by the Moodies' two prior releases, as well as their next album, 'To Our Children's Children's Children', released later that same year (1969).

Casual Moodies listeners can enjoy 'Never Comes the Day' and move along without missing much.

Probably my least favorite of the original seven, but that is a function of the consistent greatness of that best-ever-run-of-seven-consecutive-albums-in-the-history-of-music. Still a solid 90/100.
