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 75.5/100, a mean average of 75.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.3.

Holy crap! The track MT1 t29r is peak Aphex Twin. It’s a perfect melding of math-melody; a cracking track. So far this is album is a great listen immersed through headphones. First two tracks are the auditory hallucinations experienced by the first cyborg AI to try DMT. The last couple would sit comfortably on Syro.
A rather trying listen. Not as accessible as some of his other stuff. Difficult!
