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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.2/100, a mean average of 72.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

Dark Adapted Eye is a sadly overlooked gem from the late 80's. Dax herself was grossly overlooked during her career never achieving the visibility her music deserved. DAE had a handful of underground classics with Fizzing Human Bomb and Big Hollow Man being my favorites from this collection. Styles range from acoustic to bass-driven goth to folk.
