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 69.8/100, a mean average of 68.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.6.

Great krautrock album! Thanks to NickVolos for nominating this. It's really right up my alley.

This kind of music really isn't my stuff, but I actually, to my surprise, enjoyed it. Yeah, there were bits of extreme repetitiveness and annoying typical kraut/jazz stuff which don't tickle my fancy, but overall it actually really holds. There's a lot of diversity past the first two tracks and the overall sound & ambiance created is magnificent.
Sadly though the negatives pull it down a lot. Wish I could say more about this but it's just an album full of surprises and explosive moments, but a lot of annoying monotonous stuff.
