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 72.0/100, a mean average of 68.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.4.

Oozes a post armageddon soundtrack under the guise of a demented circus. It has a feel about it in which I can imagine how a deep heavy prog alternative version of 'The Wall' would sound (Heavy being the opitmal word). Some intense sprawling tracks. This has grown on me. (Edited)
