Rating metrics: Help 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 69.1/100, a mean average of 67.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.3.

I saw the Ikebukuro exhibition, way back in the day. It was very nicely done, but in the middle of a big, frantic city, visiting a gallery in a department store during daytime amongst other visitors, you simply don't get into the contemplative frame of mind suggested by the music and the art. It's something that WOULD be cool, if it were somewhere else. Ambient music in general sometimes seems like music for a life I just don't live. Still, I like listening to the sound design, and I think this is one of Eno's best ambient albums, maybe my second favorite after On Land.
