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 69.7/100, a mean average of 68.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

The only Tangerine Dream album which dipped its toes in Psychedelia. The sound of the guitar, laid over dark chords played on organ and accompanied by a 'real drummer' gives that sound, even if it wasn't intended. Tangerine Dream were still experimenting with sound at this stage and didn't have the mass of analogue synths then which they would later become so well known for using. When you listen to this you need to consider what kit was at their disposal at the time and how ground breaking their ideas with sound and sonic structure were.

A wanky, half-baked, 37 minute noise jam. Hopefully, they got this kind of stuff out of their system with this album, because I'm moving on to their next.
