Rating metrics: Help 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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.0/100, a mean average of 76.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

“Most of Sunn O)))'s discography can fit the "meditation" criteria, but here are particular highlights: White 1 and 2 do feature some spoken word audio clips. Although this one has spoken word on the intro track. There are vocals on the first track. I think Pyroclasts is their most meditative.”

“my view of "apocalyptic albums" is probably different than most, but here you go: something beautiful, uplifting, and inspiring, but it has this feeling that won't leave me, you'll know what i mean science ends as does the world it's all silent, but it says so much just listen to it life in the…”

Masterpiece of soundscape, to say the least. The guitar tone is an art in and of itself. The lyrics are hauntingly deep, even though the delivery comes across somewhat silly at points. The choir on Big Church is so damn good, All around this album is consistent and cohesive, which just makes it even better.
Easy 80.

Despite being used ( and liking ) to crude sounds , odd bands and harsh industrial and ambient music ,this so-called
drone masterpiece is not my can of beer . Overrated and even boring . (Edited)
