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 72.1/100, a mean average of 70.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.3.

While this was a strong album "making mirrors was a stronger one from his work. My favorite track is "Seven Hours..."

I want to buy this somewhere, but in the Netherlands they doe only have the version without A Distinctive Sound, which is IMO the best song of the album. So I'm not going to buy it without that song. However, the other songs are great too, especially Seven Hours With A Backseat Driver.
This album really should be ranked higher.
