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 67.8/100, a mean average of 65.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

I brani di questo disco ( tutti, anche quelli strumentali ) godono di un approccio melodico che si assesta grosso modo sulla vetta del livello del gruppo ( quindi alto ) e l'album si fa apprezzare in toto, pur avendo meno brani costruiti secondo una regolare forma canzone…

Largely instrumental, conceptually interesting. But Murdoch's vocals are always one of the highlights of B&S albums.
I didn't expect much and the end result is as enchanting as anything they've ever done.
