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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.1/100, a mean average of 77.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.1.

Absolutely brilliant album, gives me chills every listen, a close second behind "The Mantle". Not quite as good but a pioneering work by the band, the album consists of some of their greatest work with ground-shattering tracks like "Limbs" or "Unlike the Waves".
Wow, this album really caught me off guard. First time listening to it and was blown away! Just epic and beautiful throughout (Edited)

I'm astounded by this album's mood. Very catchy.
"Fire Above, Ice Below" is STELLAR
