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 24% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 72.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

One of main main bands TYA and Alvin.
After the well-executed A Space In Time release, this quick follow-up resembles the early TYE style of rock and roll blues, with a few gems that stand out from the blues-rock-boogie fill. The song Religion on the B-side, track 2 is one of those aforementioned gems.
Really, if you like Alvin Lee's fretwork, you still get your fill of hectic solos over jamming blues progressions. It just doesn't stand out relative to TYE's earlier, more definitive albums. Almost feels like the production took a step back with this one, too...
Get this LP if you live for bluesy boogie rock n' roll. Or, don't - and instead check out their prior releases. This release is their eighth, so you've got options.
Some great tracks - Religion, You give me loving and the incredible Standing at the station - which is guitar playing at it's fastest and greatest. Everyone should have this album for this track alone.
Ten Years After's eighth studio album "Rock & Roll Music To The World" from 1972 is possibly one of the group's least interesting. Eight albums in just five years probably was than Alvin Lee and his band were able to deliver inspired new material for. This does not mean that the album is without highlights or memorable songs.
The opening track "You Give Me Loving" is a solid blues-rocker in the best Ten Years After style. The "Convention Prevention" follows up on the the slightly softer style that characterized its predecessor. "A Space in Time".
A bunch of fairly traditional blues rockers like "You Can not Win Them All," "Choo Choo Mama" and "Tomorrow I'll Be Out Of Town" are each solid enough, but sound on the other hand also very much like things heard before from the group. "Turned Off TV Blues" is pure blues at best Peter Green style.
The title track gained quite some radio play and it is actually a nice and catchy rocker.
The highlight for me is clearly "Religion," which shows the group from its strongest side. Fine structure with increasing intensity and with classic rock supplemented with more modern elements. Here Alvin Lee is given space and time to showcase his the lead guitarskills tastefully og never boring.
