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 73.1/100, a mean average of 72.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.2.

Unearthly yelps and screeches from the depths of hell, it sounds like Diamanda Galas is putting an eternal curse on the listener. Very atmospheric and enchanting.
With unbelievable vocals and a bizarre, unsettling atmosphere, Diamanda Galas' "The Litanies of Satan" is a horrific, darkly funny and extreme album, and it's all the more rewarding for it.
Like Anthony Braxton, her vocal compositions on Litanies of Satan are complex enough to warrant a 12 minute track entirely of soloing. It’s absolutely terrifying in it’s unabated primacy. Seriously, she makes Meredith Monk sound like a Christian choirgirl (and believe me, I love Meredith). Diamanda screams like she’s being born, or being torn apart very slowly limb by limb. These are the kind of emotions one would only dream of uttering while in the isolation of a rubber padded room. Yet, her one voice sounds like many, as if the tormented souls of generations past are howling wildly in succession, possessing her in chthonic ritual.
