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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 86.1/100, a mean average of 84.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

Minha descoberta pessoal do ano! To todo cagado, que álbum incrível!
Still need to listen to this a dozen more times to become familiar with every track, but it's still awesome. Unique and gorgeous
Didn't understood the hype
I see... this is what heaven sounds like...

This album really represents why we love music so much. The emotional power the tracks have is so immense, the vast atmosphere of greatness is oh so present. If you haven't listened to this, give it a shot. Most likely it will not disappoint!
Pretty atmospheric and cautivating. I am somehow much more triggered by the second half, but is not that the first half is boring.
This is hauntingly, out of this world beautifull.
