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 18% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.8/100, a mean average of 72.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.4.

(This rating is bases on the Complete Collection, which in my opinion is the true representation of this album).

It is hard to rate and comment on this album, as the version presented on this site is the abridged version of the complete, 9 EP, 36 track long vision of Casey Crescenzo. Nevertheless, the compilation combines a nice ensemble of the various parts, and gives a nice introduction to the complete work.

I have argued to the powers that be on this site to change the data for this album to represent the full body of work, but for the time being this is what we have.

Not sure what martintho is on about below, but this album truly sits among the best albums ever!
