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 72.8/100, a mean average of 69.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.9.

Released as a 2-pack along Enter K with the K group. This album is the more typical prog offering whereas Enter K is the more experimental album. Patient, Comfortable and Traintime are true prog masterpieces.
