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 72.7/100, a mean average of 72.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.3.

Sometimes it sounds good, sometimes just the cliche´ of Progressive-Rock.

This Heavy Metal Opera came out years before Avantasia, Avalon, and AINA put out their concept records. Arjen has a lot of great narrative chops in between progressive rock and space rock-inspired heavy metal. This is his best album for a good reason.
Brilliant album. Production wise, it was a clear step up on Actual Fantasy. Possibly the only criticism is that at 104 minutes it goes on a little too long. And it is not really an album that one can pick and choose tracks as there is commentary in between.
