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 has a Bayesian average rating of 70.1/100, a mean average of 69.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.4.

I was first a bit shocked for my ears. But after 5 Minutes it‘s getting better and the good thing on this album is I can see a red line a melody. This is no Trash it is good noise music I liked at the end and it is better than Lou Reed‘s MMM. Give it a try and slow down the volume protect your ears.

It would be hard for me to give this album any more than 85, but damn the sheer unhinged nature of this album is unparalleled.
Not for the faint of heart, But damn this is some good indulgent type shit. I will say this album can get fucking terrifying. The harsh noise emulates the screams of demons while at the same time feels like you are in a tundra close to dying.
Nearing the end of this and for this album, was super engaged by this. Also listening to this on a somewhat low volume does help out. You can call me a pussy for that but I want to protect my ears. And for newcomers to noise, this does help if you are open minded for it.
