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 74.5/100, a mean average of 74.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

Quality as fuck, a huge departure from their Black Metal roots but this is some damn good ambient electronic, my favorite of theirs other than Bergtatt.
After only listen to Nattens Madrigal I got really surprised about the great electronic (black metal?) album those guys made. Worth to check it out!
Ulver sheds their black metal beginnings and goes full on sort of a synthesis between electronic and art rock - and its absolutely brilliant.
There's everything here: from almost techno beats and rhythms to violins and saxophones to ambient to art rock. And it's all done so well, there's not a bad song. But it's even better when you look at the context: a black metal outsiders doing this is not what anyone expected, but what everyone loved. Except black metal fans, but they don't like anything so no harm done
