Rating metrics: Help 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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.4/100, a mean average of 76.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.4.

This album paints the picture of cold desolate spaces for me. I own this on CD and vinyl although I prefer to listen to the vinyl. All of the instruments used on this album are listed on the lp dust sleeve and it makes for an impressive list which is confirmed when the needle is dropped onto the first track. I love the opening of Poland, the way the track constructs from the drum machine intro is one of my favourite TD openers. Excellent album.
