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 is rated in the top 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.3/100, a mean average of 72.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.4.

Surprised this is so ignored here - one of the most beautiful and terrifying albums of all time. You have to listen to the whole Inmost Light Trilogy though, it's incomplete without Where The Long Shadow Falls and The Starres Are Marching Sadly Home to bookend the main album

Overpowering yet mystifying. Often baffling though very beautiful album for which it's bluntness often feels like a disquise rather than a flaw. Will keep digging into this album, it never gets old

Sentimientos encontrados con este album. Aveces me parece horrible y aveces una obra maestra. Nisiquiera puedo describirlo. Aveces parece un ritual satanico y aveces parecen melodias tocadas por los angeles.
