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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.4/100, a mean average of 80.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

This album inspired a movie later showcased at Cannes. Just discovered this and... geeze, I think I like it. This aint your grandma's prog rock. I hate synth music often, but I do not hate this one bit. As per earlier comment, this was released in 2013 so no changes needed. Excellent pieces of music are here.
The release date on this album is wrong I think!
All spotify, Itunes and google all agree that this album was released March 2015, but we have it listed here as 2013. How do we fix this?
