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 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 70.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.1.

I did come to appreciate the compositional structure and skill. This album does seem to overcome my distaste for repetition, which generally fuels my distaste for electronic music. Not that electronic music is inherently repetitious, but it seems many of its practitioners are, so it's just become an expectation of mine.

But these songs actually seem to go somewhere. Once I adapted to the sound, I was able to enjoy the journey.
