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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.3/100, a mean average of 77.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.3.

Less of an album to listen to and more of an album to invite into your presence, allowing it to accompany you as you walk, or sleep, or write, etc. It's like the corners of a painting and you get to be the centre. (Edited)
As cinematic as an album can get. All 157 minutes are used wisely (Edited)
I visualize a circular presence to The Dance of the Moon and the Sun. It begins where it ends.
For example, imagine a standard clock. Instead of 12 numbers, there are 25 (as there are 25 tracks in The Dance…). The first track begins (Carved Heart) and the clock is set on the first hour. As each track passes, the hour hand progressively moves to the next number. This continues all the way until we've reached near the final minutes of the album, and finish the last track (Remains in the Ditch of the Dead) as the hidden song fades out. At this point the hour hand has come full circle, and the first track of The Dance… could begin again seamlessly.
One could also imagine this as a trip around the world… or maybe the solar system… or beyond? Whatever it is that fills you.

One of the most beautiful albums I've ever heard. Open your mind and listen deep. (Edited)

Felt Presence, Ghostly Humming is one of the best songs of the century (Edited)
