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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.7/100, a mean average of 79.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.0.

“Might be the best album by a Danish band ever. Featuring David Bowie and Lou Reed really says it all.”

Who ever is reading this, if there is even someone ever. Kashmir is a Denmark band, they sing in english, they dont play festivals at all, they are most a local band. In Mexico they are pretty big too (3 sell out concerts 2 yrs ago). This is probably their best effort, the collaboration with Bowie is amazing (he is a huge fan of the band)Kalifornia, Ophelia, The Curse of Being a Girl... this is an amazing album, of a completely unknown band. If you get to like this album, listen to Zitilities, amazing album too

This album is much more of a live album compared to the last two albums "The Good Life" and "Zitilites". There are only 2 years between "Zitilites" and this album, which was intentional for Kashmir, as they didn't want to go through the same long process as they went through with "Zitilites". I think this album worked especially well at live concerts at the time, as the album very much has a live feeling to it. Much more of a raw powerful sound compared to the last two albums which had more of a dreamy sound.
