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 10% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.8/100, a mean average of 75.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.9.

It was a bit disappointing to not hear more of magical poetry of Brandon Perry, but album is still really good.

Another one of those bands that will forever be linked to 4AD no matter how long the passage of time because, well, the music could only spring from one label and have I said touched by the hand of Ivo yet?
To long term fans the music is no surprise, with the the album consisting of two neo-classical Middle-Eastern pieces with a certain gothic splendour that make little concession to the 20th or 21st Century. It’s very, very good.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
