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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 85.5/100, a mean average of 84.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

What a beautiful experience of an album is this, I almost feel that my bond with nature grows stronger while listening to this piece of art. The only thing holding it back from being a 10 for me is this part in the middle when something keeps falling into water for a bit too long.

Hard album to judge. While I love that enchanting piano loop, when that's pretty much the whole album it does get a bit boring and overused. Part 3 is terrible filler, and Part 4 is nice. The other three tracks are more or less the same song. Which I like. But when I listen to an album I expect a little more variety. If the Rolling Stones released an album that was just Gimme Shelter 9 times all slightly different would that be the best album ever?

This thing is pretty darn masterful. Amazing feel, inventive textures, and largely gripping the whole way through.

Long Season drips with color and emotion with a structure that ensures a massive pay off for the listener. Get caught up in this beautiful whirlwind as soon as you can.

A beautifully crafted piece of just pure brilliance. It is 35 minutes of bliss and it is difficult to get to the end of the album and not feel like you have been transported to a completely different variation of reality. Long Season is a must listen for anyone with even a slight interest in music.
