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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.4/100, a mean average of 74.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.4.

The last of April Wines pure rockers before going 80s, this makes for a very good listen.

Saw these guys on The Old Grey Whistle Test on New Years Eve back in my teens. Was hooked from then on, I still have the vinyl copy which sounds superb through a Riga deck and B & W speakers, their version of 21 Century Schizoid Man does King Crimson proud

Nice middle-of-the-road rock album. Nothing regulatory or ground-breaking, but nothing cringeworthy either. A solid rock listen.

Typical late '70s rock band. Can't say I was a huge fan, but I didn't turn the radio station when they came on, either. I Like to Rock is one of my all-time favorites, however.

A worthy swan song to 70's cancon glam pop. Tonite is another example of how this band is underrated if you only look at the radio staples they pounded out.

I'd hardly call them genius... but they're a straightforward classic rock band, better than most of their peers.
