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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.7/100, a mean average of 76.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.9.

Not a bad album, definitely don't know if I see myself listening to it on repeat, but I do see myself coming back to it here and there. Solid 7/10

Easily one of the best modern rock albums which is inspired heavily on 70s hard rock/progressive rock music.

Di "In the future" di stonato c'è una cosa: il titolo. Avrebbe dovuto chiamarsi "In the past", infatti, per dare meglio l'idea della musica che vi è contenuta; saccheggiati a mani basse gli anni settanta ( la prima metà del decennio, per la precisione ), l'hard, la tarda psichedelia, anche il progressive ( ma senza strabordare ). Un rock spesso duro ma variegato, a tratti teatrale senza mai essere kitch, che si dilunga in alcune tracce ma riesce a non essere noioso; insomma, si potrebbe spendere la parola capolavoro, volendo ammettere che nel 2008, in ambito rock, si possa ancora indicare qualche via nuova, seppur così legata al passato.
Another great recent band who brought this stunning debut album - a stoner mix of straight up rock, a little bit of rock and some blues. Wucan and Bright Lights are stand outs.
