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 77.1/100, a mean average of 77.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.2.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy and so on.
This album sounds like grainy memories, warped nostalgia, and the ever-fading echo of long-bygone days

Nothing exceptional here... the production is awful and I'm not talking about the intentional static sounds but mainly the tracks transition and the post-production.
This concept could have easily give a better experimental dark ambient album.

This is wonderfully spooky and darkly elegant.
Lady Gaga's ranked ahead of this?? We're all doomed!
