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 79.7/100, a mean average of 78.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.1.

Just discovered this and it automatically jumps to my number 4 spot of Best all Time Albums! It's up there with Joanna Newsoms Y's. This is OTHERWORDLY, This is a one off Masterpiece. A true hidden gem. This is so far ahead of it's time, it's astounding.

Ecletic and Eccesial Krautprog at its best. Beautiful and clear sounding album with lots of religious and church music vibes

This album feels very spiritual and creates this ethereal atmosphere that is very easy to get lost in. The vocal is one of the main contributors to that with it being so high and angelic. This is best shown on Nicht Hoch Im Himmel. Then there is the piano which is so beautifully played and you can hear how delicately it is being performed. The album is very cohesive and each song melds together to form a true experience. It does struggle in terms of stand out tracks and that it isn't an album you would be drawn back to regularly. Overall, this record provides a great experience and really makes you think whilst relaxing you at the same time.

A really well put together piece of music. It's a very peaceful and hopeful album. The influence of religion is apparent but in a general spiritual sense rather than an imposition of beliefs. It's not tethered to a specific religion, it's, to me, an expression of what it feels like to have a higher power on your side.

Each track blends so well with each other I noticed it had ended 5 minutes after it actually ended.
