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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.2/100, a mean average of 77.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

This is what I would dare call the classic "Schulze". Very repetitive, analog but supportive drums, long drawn-out chords on the synthesizer that unfortunately beg a little too often for variation (playing a different note really causes a kind of relief). The sound of the synthesizer effects is very good. Unfortunately, that cannot be said of the sounds with which the solos are played. I'm not sure if it's a Moog, and if it's one, the sound could be a whole lot better. Here and there, the notes played by the sequencer are a bit too repetitive and close to boring. Running them through a variety of moog filters is not really helping. All in all this is a good and “classic” records.
