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 71.4/100, a mean average of 69.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.2.

Somewhat too pompous for my taste at times. "Nadir's Big Chance" still a strong favourite.

Much more quiet than his VdGG songs. PH was good at determining which songs were more intimate and deserved to be released solo and which deserved the full group treatment and should be played by VdGG. Mostly guitar based album. Stands alone, this album sounds nothing like any other PH offering. Feels quite medieval troubadour at times.
