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 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 74.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.5.

This is barely music, really. Just carefully curated ambient swells throughout, coupled with the odd gentle sound. But that description undersells this album as it's a wonderful piece of work. The opening suite, The Atomium, is one of the ambient greats, right up there with Brian Eno's compositions on his Ambient 1 LP - 22 perfect minutes, culminating in an eerie finale that will haunt you for hours afterwards. Stars Of The Lid are truly unique.
A mind-blowing drone ambient masterpiece. Just pure soundscape bliss. This LP has only 5 tracks and each one are perfect. A very special album to me.
