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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.4/100, a mean average of 76.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

This album falls firmly in the "cosmic slop" category - actually, it may just be the finest example of unadulterated psychedelic mayhem that I've ever heard. Guitar, drums, bass -- two instrumental tracks; equal time is spent drifting serenely in space and going noise explosion. "Amboss" is especially intimidating, with an amp-torturing frenzy in the middle that always leaves me bewildered. If you need to lose yourself in some classic space-mush, this is the place to do it. (Edited)
A fiery mix of progressive-space-kraut rock that sounds like nothing else on Earth. Or possibly the entire universe. (Edited)
An album of two sides. "Amboss" is a fun psychedelic/space rock romp with some great Jimi Hendrix style guitar that would be awesome in the live setting, but the real treat here is the Post-Rockish "Traummachine" which just transports u to a different plane. (Edited)
