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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.8/100, a mean average of 75.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.5.

Deceit gets a ton of well-deserved credit but don’t sleep on this one. Tons of very unique, ahead of the curve stuff.
A very minimalist album that does shine in places but also struggles to maintain my attention for the full run time. It has moments where it is really psychedelic and you end up getting lost in these crazy beats and rhythms which is exactly what the artist wants you to do. This is really helped by the drums which are phenomenal on this album and are the real highlight for me. However, it just feels a bit to empty at times and it is so easy for me to switch off from the album. It can feel partly made at times as well and like it is missing something to complete the sound that they are trying to achieve. Overall, this album is an experience but doesn't have the quality to be amongst the greatest of all time.

A wonderful noise rock, post punk album.

Absolute masterpiece
A unique post-punk album from the last 1970's.
