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 79.0/100, a mean average of 78.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

A fun album in its monotonous and serious rhythms and moods. Hilarious stuff

One of the best goth albums, very different from the obvious candidates but it's uniquely more synth driven, love listening to this on these cold winter evenings. It doesn't get the justice deserved on here as it's one of my all time favorites.

A dance-able goth album that loses steam at the end.

One of the few albums where I like the second half more than the first. Of course, "Lucretia my Reflection" and "This Corrosion," are the hits, but from "Flood II" onward it's all frosty darkwave to match the album art. Recommended for a moonlit winter stroll.

Amazing album. A lot of versions come with the spectacular "Colours" which I'm guessing is a bonus track or something.
