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)

While the first three are excellent exercises in drone music, the last is in excercise in banging on things while being in a really big cave. While it may not seem far removed from the first three in theory, it is clearly done becuase "hey that would be kinda cool," not "this would be interesting and artistic". Still, dont let it detract from the amazingness of the first three tracks
