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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.6/100, a mean average of 72.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.7.

No prog group has such a wide range of sounds as King Crimson. I love the softer side of King Crimson. Lizard, Islands: I think these albums are great. I also love Fripp's work with Eno.

To the claim this isn't King Crimson: we have Fripp (mister KC himself), Collins and Levin, Jakszyk and Harrison (KC's most recent long-time KC members). For me, this is King Crimson. I see the group as the next instalment with A Scarcity of Miracles as their prime output.

And what a great output it is. Moving away from their harder sound, showing they have this soft side too.

I consider this to be a 4-star album.
