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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.3.

Interesting mix of prog, pop, and even some jazzy themes. Really liked the open In the Dead of the Night suite (first three songs), as well as some very strong moments in Time to Kill Nevermore, and the closing Mental Medication, like the middle violin solo. Probably won't be revisiting super often since there are other prog albums I like better, but not a bad choice to spice it up from time to time.

Now THIS is what a supergroup should be. Playing to everyone's strengths and lifting each other up to make amazing songs.

One of the greatest, and certainly the most underrated, prog albums of all time. The supergroup dream team of John Wetton, Bill Bruford, Eddie Jobson, and Allan Holdsworth, live up to, and possibly exceed, all expectations. Very moody, so not for everyone, but highly rewarding to those who can dig it.
