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 is rated in the top 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.8/100, a mean average of 78.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.5.

Great album with great electronic songs: Dirt, Rekkit, ... (Edited)
A good but slightly underwhelming and lengthy electronic/dub debut from Death in Vegas...however, this record is still worth a listen with some impressive tracks like "Dirt". They'd go on to create beautiful, trippy art like the majority of "The Contino Sessions", but this is a worthwhile introduction to the band.
The dub doesn't particularly work and it drags on for a while, but otherwise a decent debut that's pretty consistent in its sound.
