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 79.1/100, a mean average of 78.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.9.

The first Swans album to convince me I may actually end up liking some of their stuff (listening in order). Far more interesting, diverse, and dynamic than their previous efforts. It trails off on side four and feels a tad bloated, but its highlights achieve this transcendental... gothic... drone-y... beauty that is so unique to Swans.
Not a big fan of this album. It strikes me as an intermediary piece between Swans' earlier sound and the later stuff. As such I find it hard to connect with .

One of the best post-punk records I've heard.

First Swans album i can just put on and dive into.
It sounds like a harder and noiser type of post-punk music.
Much easier to listen than other albums.

This masterpiece, great songs, dark and gloomy songs to pasive ones. And where is the Youtube full album??? It was there

I love this already. Every song is great, especially the middle tracks. Michael Gira can make the darkest, most sinister music, but he can also make some of the most gorgeous and blissful music one could want. Sheer brilliance.
