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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.4/100, a mean average of 70.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.1.

Unlike another huge album which was a mixed bag this year (A.G. Cook's 7G), I found The Consuming Flame to be even more disjointed and much less entertaining. It's still damn good, mind you, and better than last year's Plastic Anniversary, but it's a far cry from their best work. Still the concept is intriguing, and it's very much worth a listen.
