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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.3/100, a mean average of 75.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.6.

The wind is blowing, the guitar is plucking and the waves are playing you to better times. Music full of remorse and a hope for a better future. (Edited)

This album is slow and solemn, even sad in its tone.A fine entry to world of rock. This is not a hard rocker, but a very fine and stylish album
Their most underrated album. I was really surprised how consistent it was. Good album.

Bem blues, som lento, pantanoso, ritmo preciso e o espírito exposto.
