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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 78.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.8.

“Sometimes I like useless data/facts. So what are yours? (double triple/quadruple are acceptable - anything over single, etc.) 1950s 1960s 1970s Near impossible choice - and had I not recently listened to it, I'd change it to either Exile on Main St., London Calling, At Fillmore East, Decade, Songs…”

“Thanks for bolding the first rule - I think I got it based off that. Also can we add The Alchemy Index to your list since babyBlueSedan posted about it just before the new rules? I suppose I'll give a White Album stab as well, but first to answer babyBlueSedan's question: I think Air and Earth are…”

“I'm curious what your feedback would be with these 2 EPs. I quite appreciate them from a conceptual level and emotional. They create music based on the 4 classical elements: Fire and Water for the first EP. Air and Earth for the second. I'm not certain another project out there is quite like this…”

I think this is highly underrated work. I'm actually very interested in why people don't like it other than it doesn't meet the expectations they had from the band. It was difficult to understand for me in the beginning, but it grew into one of my favorite records in the past decade.

Absolutely stunning performances, compositions, and concept.
