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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.8/100, a mean average of 75.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

They still sounded a bit too much like Soft Machine and their music suffered from the same occasional lack of focus or purpose (my feeling, of course). Having said that, their eclectic exploratory approach is impressive and some moments of greatness do arise from their sophisticated noodling (like that Pharoah Sanders-esque cathartic beginning of Teenbeat and the guitar solo in Teenbeat Reprise).
