Rating metrics: Help 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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 85.6/100, a mean average of 84.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.5.

There's lots of good stuff here but I personally am not a fan of these 20 minute tracks. Eg. first track where the first 6 minutes is lovely, then a lot of the rest of the 20 minutes is just filler. Same with the last track where there's 3 minutes of gold but the rest is filler. I could have enjoyed this but I can't say I did given how long it dragged on. (Edited)

Maybe the best post-rock album of all time? (Edited)

One of my favorite albums. Apocalyptic and turbulent. Sometimes hopeful? (Edited)
