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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.7/100, a mean average of 72.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.7.

Lots of hissing
Quite liking this. First listened to a while back on my dad's LP of it. Great interesting ambient album.
A seminal work.

Great ambient album. Perfect to just sit and admire. Fripp's guitar work on the title track blows my mind.
