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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.7/100, a mean average of 76.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

Proves to be weaker than Autechre's previous landmark record "Tri Repetae", but the substitution of ambient techno for harsher glitch/noise is an interesting evolution in their music and although the tracks on "Chiastic Slide" are quite lengthy and repetitive, they do start to become hypnotic with further listens.
Thankfully, "Chiastic Slide" still retains Autechre's greatest quality: the ability to translate complex layers of electronica into something digestible and human. "Cichli" in particular is stunning.
While Amber is indeed my favorite(it was my first meeting with this duo), Chiastic Slide definitely comes second. This album's sound is so refined and hypnotic, rather repetitive(as with much of their music), but the transcendental industrial machine-hymns are complemented with moments of pure noise or weird experimental sounds, like the 2nd track Rettic AC, which is just pure noise. This is a really 'smart' album, not something you go around listening to everyday, but a bit like Faust self-titled debut album, though less challenging.
Another great summary and I 100 percent agree with it. I deliberated long and hard whether to include 'Chiastic Slide' or the equally brilliant 'Incunabula' in my chart. I eventually decided on the latter but tomorrow this could change.
