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 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.2/100, a mean average of 75.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.7.

I need more evidence for that, but I think that the poor boy/lucky man is David from the psalms. Great emotional concept anyways.

A nice mix of Zeppelin-esque hard rock and hauntingly beautiful acoustic numbers. Like all great concept albums, there is a certain poetry to the lyrics (which tell the story of a boy born without a heart) and the songs work just as well on their own as well as they do within the total package.
