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 has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 74.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

Often referred to as the Belgian answer to Zao, they offer a mixture of prog rock, jazz and Canterbury styles, drawing their influences mainly from Magma, King Crimson, Hatfield and The North, and of course, Zao. This album has lots of drums and percussion, the vocal melodies are fantastic as the piano comes in. The female singer Pascale Son uses nonsense syllables to suggest a semblance of language. The Cos debut album "PostaeolianTrain Robbery" is very good too.
