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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.6/100, a mean average of 75.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

(1) Always wanted to listen to Andy Stott, but never got round to it. This is some seriously good techno and related stuff. It starts pretty slow and predictable, the first song is decent but from the second track on it's a blast. Trance-like vocals are an unusual fit to a fairly weird and…

1. This is an album that has been on my to-do list for a long time, so I'm glad to finally hear it. I've been looking forward to checking out his less experimental and gravelly early work, and this did not disappoint. The vocals are better than on any other release of his I've heard, and the…

From desh79 02/26/2018 14:08 in What album are you listening to right now?
Came upon this whilst expanding my 2012 list. Very good bit of minimal techno, 4/5 (or 8/10 if you're more a out of 10 kinda person).

It's not really the kind of techno I like. It's dubby, slow and the voices are not always helping. It's nonetheless showcasing a great talent and the last two tracks are excellent.

It is very pleasing to hear. No questions on that.
The songs are relatively good and the aesthetics of sound is very captivating.
Even so, there aren't tracks that standout and consequently the album is nothing more than a nice hearing experience.

I usually write out relatively long reviews of albums... but I really don't have much to say here. I feel like I was shoved into a lagoon and I'm now sinking and I have no idea where I am and I can't breathe and overall yeah I'd say its a pretty good experience. 8.5/10

it took me several months to realize that this isn't an ordinary electronic album.
