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 66.3/100, a mean average of 63.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

Excellent cover art which screams prog. The futuristic world depicted hinting at the music within. The musicianship is first class, plenty of eighties style reverb laid over the synths and drums. The vocals seem a little drowned out at times, the kick drum is way to low in the mix, something I have noted with their debut also. The mix sounding messy at times. I prefer side 2 (vinyl).

Not quite as good as the debut, but still a solid album.
