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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.4/100, a mean average of 79.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

An incredibly creative effort leading to their most successful album to date,"Fear of a Blank Planet";moreover,Wilson has an astonishing haunting voice and he is likewise a great lyricist."Deadwing" is full of magnificent songs.Don't underestimate it!
This is the album that got me into Porcupine Tree. Stand out tracks for me are "Arriving Somewhere But Not Here", "Mellotron Scratch" and "Start Of Something Beautiful"

Here's a band I had never heard of before getting addicted to this site... This album is simply excellent and the song Lazarus is absolutely gorgeous. Thanks again BEA!

Wow, some really epic tracks here! And it seems I still have two higher ranked Porcupine Tree albums to listen to. Lucky me!
Another brilliant Steve Wilson album. Not a bad track on it and Arriving Somewhere one of his best ever. Also love Open Car and Glass Arm Shattering.
