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 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 72.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.8.

This atmospheric rock album would become the midway between their previous doom metal albums and their latest prog-rock album. Throughout the album, most songs have similar haunting keyboards and piano, fascinating acoustic guitars and sometimes aggressive, sometimes calm electric guitars. These, as well as a wonderful violin in two tracks, make this album beautiful despite the great depressing lyrics. Their best songs are the Floydian yet unique "Lost Control" and the haunting title track.
