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 78.9/100, a mean average of 78.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

Their debut kind of left me cold, but this I like. Experimental in a more enjoyable, more melodic and groovy, typical "krautrock" sound, plus some cool more dark toned material that one could mistake for an unreleased Joy Division track.

I fancy myself an enthusiast of avant-garde and experimental music, but this takes it a bit too far at some points. I still enjoyed myself, but I found it hard to sit through all at once.

The album is obviously influenced by Pink Floyd's Meddle, especially the last track, and, of course, by VU too. "Daddy, take the banana, tomorrow is Sundaaay!"

Faust have done it again! Their second album is even more fun than their first. Jolly and chaotic, this album is just as pioneering as Faust's debut and conjured up another delightful world, whilst doing something different from their previous album. I enjoyed listening to this so much, a wild mixture of so many different ingredients.
