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 71.9/100, a mean average of 71.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.3.

The only misstep here is the made-for-the-amphitheatre Calypso (part one). Great though this track is, it is incongruous set against the rest of this moody and atmospheric album. Overall, though, a superb listen, rounded off with an ambient masterpiece.
Rating: Brilliant
Best track: Calypso Part 3 (Fin De Siècle)
