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 71.7/100, a mean average of 71.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

An Imaginary Country holds some of Hecker's most dense and climatic emotional pieces. Tracks like Borderlands, 200 Years Ago, and Where Shadows Make Shadows are some of his best recordings.
For me, there is little by way of emotional engagement here to sustain any proplonged interest in the material, much of which hardly ever varies. It's the droning and repetitive nature of the music and its allusions to romanticism, that renders it a meandering and monotonous experience.
