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 72.7/100, a mean average of 73.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.3.

This reminds me a bit of At the Edge of Light and I think I may need to listen to both albums back to back to see how close they are. I love the string/pad textures Roger King creates and the subtle introduction of exotic instruments which builds on the atmospheres. I hadn't realised the drum stool is occupied by someone else so it will also be interesting to compare the rhythmic differences between the albums. I will provide a further review when I compare the two.
