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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.4/100, a mean average of 74.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.5.

The best free jazz LP!

I don't think I've ever before heard a more appropriate title for a song or album
Nice

The musical equivalent to getting raped with a jackhammer.
Really liking this, some of the best free jazz I've heard. So AGGRESSIVE

Este es un álbum extremadamente insano, inarmónico y duro. Uno necesita estar dispuesto a entrar en ello. No es nada sencillo. De hecho, creo que si no conquistas su sonido en tu primera escuchada, probablemente nunca llegues a disfrutarlo.
Piensa antes en la mezcla musical más esquizofrénica, disonante y radical que creas posible.
Una sola recomendación: escúchalo completo. Al final te quedarás, o con un fuerte dolor de cabeza, o con una inexplicable sensanción de completitud.
Machine Gun es como la guerra, como el silencio; es una maraña de disparos, de emociones desgarradas. Es libertad.

Not for me - far too free.

I'm sorry, but this is just too messed up for me. And this is coming from someone who sometimes thinks Trout Mask Replica is too mainstream.
