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 70.8/100, a mean average of 69.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.5.

A masterful keyboard player and programmer, this is a masterclass by Tomita. Jupiter to Saturn is chilling but introduces inevitably, acceptance and a return to a gentle lyrical joy. Superbly handled, Tomita marshalls batallions of space weaponry in Mars in a terrific crescendo. If you know Holst's wowrk,I urge you to hunt this out. There is a version in surround sound which is a great listen. But see if you dare listen to Jupiter / Saturn alone eyes closed and on the loud side and contemplate mortality. Enjoy! (Edited)
