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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.5/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.9.

Extraordinary album. Beautiful, haunting, darkly atmospheric, rated far too low.
Surprised to see this in 4th place. Consistently good with a great concept.
Tier List for my preferences of the tracks on this album:
NOTE: 6 is "The Fall Of The House Of Usher" in its entirety and 7 is "To One In Paradise"
Top: 3-5
High: 1, 2, 6, 7
