Rating metrics: Help 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 67.9/100, a mean average of 67.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.8.

Radioactive Toy is great. A few of the other tracks have some excellent instrumentals, but overall it's a bit of a weird psychedelic album. Not for me. The best was yet to come

A great debut which sits more in the psychedelic camp. Some lovely Mellotron on this album. The Nostalgia Factory and Radioactive Toy are standouts for me. Impressive debut. Only thing I am not so keen on is the sound of the drums, bit tinny in places.

The more time I spend with this album, the more fun it becomes. My only complaint is its length, which is a bit much for what it is, but I find myself not minding it when I'm in just the right mood.

Good first album from Porcupine Tree, an average high quality and some great exploits, like Radioactive Toy.
