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 77.5/100, a mean average of 79.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.9.

I Black Angels prendono il nome verosimilmente dalla canzone dei Velvet che fece cacciare dal locale dove suonavano Lou Reed & co., ma che "le direzioni" verso cui guardano siano indietro nel tempo di almeno quarant'anni ed avvolte dalle nebbie lisergiche lo si capisce innanzitutto dalla copertina, poi dalla musica contenuta nei loro dischi, non solo in questo. Ci sono i Doors dimentichi del blues ed i Pink Floyd post Barrett più estremi, ma poi c'è molto altro, che proviene dalla fine del decennio successivo; il dark, Siouxsie, la new wave più oscura. Ci vuole fegato e talento nel proporre una miscela del genere alla fine degli anni duemila ed i Black Angels ce l'hanno; purtroppo l'altro lato della medaglia è rappresentato da una pesantezza che cresce per tutti i settanta (!) minuti del disco…
