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 67.6/100, a mean average of 63.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 63.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 24.1.

The two compositions on this disc are indispensable. The lengthy drone of bowed upright piano strings (Radulescu's "Sound Icons") on Clepsydra, punctuated as it is by cries of atonal metallic anguish, stirs up the kind of atmosphere only made possible by a stroke of genius or madness. Astray is a similarly challenging piece, incorporating saxophones from the ninth circle of hell.
