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 82.4/100, a mean average of 81.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

Listen “Танец роботов” “Dance of robots” by Alexander Zatsepin from movie «Центровой из поднебесья» 1975 ”Tsentrovoy iz podnebesya” ??? That sound kinda CAN (Edited)

Not a fan (Edited)
This is probably my favorite Kraftwerk album and I actually prefer it over Trans-Europa Express, it is not so eerie, but the theme of it just sticks more with me.
