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 76.1/100, a mean average of 77.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.6.

It may be one of the weakest records in their catalogue, but it's still an impressive collection of little scraps of experimental music coalesced in the shape of "The Faust Tapes". Lucky you if you bought this album for 49p in the UK back in 1973, what a bargain for such a great album.
Bound to still be inaccessible to a huge percentage of the audience in 2016 let alone 1973, this record is simply a collection of great, timeless music and I urge Krautrock fans not to skip this one.
