Rating metrics: Help 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 72.9/100, a mean average of 73.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.6.

Recently bought a vinyl re-issue with a different sleeve design, greenish background with red flowers. Great 'modern' progressive band. This is the third album I have by them now. This album in particular reminds me of Anathema minus the female backing vocalist.

At times it rocks, at times it's as dreamy as its title suggests, but overall feels like the alternative label suits it much more than progressive, which is supposed to be its main genre -not that this is a negative thing, quite the contrary if you ask me. And I hate to say it, but you can really tell they were influenced by Radiohead.
