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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 77.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.1.

This has been a very slow burner for me but it's a really good album. A Hundred Moons is an outstanding track.

Interesting instrumental mix of jazz and electronic music elements with powerful musical themes. This sounds more like a score recording than a usual rock/jazz record. The audio quality is excellent - full of dynamic range, solid bass and detailed instrument sound. The "deluxe version" of the album has two additional tracks: "So It Begins" and an alternative version of "A Hundred Moons". (album rating 65,55 %)

On further reflection, this is even better than I first thought. A few listens in and i’m Loving it a lot. Could be a contender for album of the year.

Did not expect this. A genuinely stunning and original record. Top level musicianship from a band doing something a bit special. If you like Jazz, Prog and Electronica, then this could be your album of the year.
