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 71.3/100, a mean average of 70.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.0.

A gorgeous complement to Ravedeath, my favorite work of his. Much has been made of this album's sparseness, and while it is much less dense than Ravedeath, it is much more than a guy sitting at a piano plucking out melancholy notes, which is what I half expected. It is much more in the same vein of Ravedeath, just more subtle and subdued. It is excellent nontheless
80/100
