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 74.6/100, a mean average of 73.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.2.

Fantastic, very atmospheric.
Like falling into a vat of molten dark chocolate and having to eat your way out. You lose sense of direction at time and no longer know which way is up, but you really dont' care either. Death by Chocolate! Yummy!

What a brilliant piece of music
Excellent precursor to Psychic. Fantastic album.
A very beautiful album that scares me and thrills me in equal measures.

I like its dark atmosphere.
This is just strange...
Similar to Burial, but a hell of a lot better... Been waiting for an album like this ever since Múm's 'Finally We Are No One' chilled me into oblivion. Brilliant!
