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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.8/100, a mean average of 78.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

Really, really solid album. Has a very chilled out, summer vibe to a lot of it for me, especially songs like Pour My Love and Lucky Man. Montreal does meander a bit, but the other two two long ones are a showcase for what this band does best - chords, guitar solos and crescendos that dig right into your soul.

Didn't expect these guys to deliver such quality after all these years. Solid prog-rock from start to finish, with mostly long and varied songs.
