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 is rated in the top 21% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 72.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.9.

Superb debut album from Messrs Geffen and Wilson. Particular favourites are Blackfield, Lullaby, Summer, Cloudy Now and Hello.

Wow, Steven, wow. One of the best artists ever.
Solid but nothing special. Sounds like a Porcupine Tree b-sides album. Highlights are Hole In Me and Blackfield. (Edited)
A more accessible and less challenging version of Porcupine Tree.
