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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.1/100, a mean average of 76.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

The moods and feelings that the music on this album generates are cerebral in nature, akin to an outer body experience. Listening to this haunting music late a night in darkness, one can perhaps imagine levitating in a vortex of empty space in which exist ghostly figures in animated suspension between the spiritual and material world, each attempting to communicate with humanity to warn it of an impending apocolypse. The soft ambient floating drones build and collapse like galactic black holes. The impression is of catastrophe more introvertly personal and profound than outwardly physical like for instance, Pere Ubu's 'The Modern Dance'. Crescendo's of organ contrast with elongated drones, eerie electronics, bells, tablas and moog sythesiser creating a metaphysical sense of forboding that's simultaneously mysterious, sacred and timeless.

I feel..... there is someone watching me..... while..... I listen to it....,... But I'm alone........ or I think that I am alone (Edited)
I almost thought that the Spotify player was jammed..
didn't they do the soundtrack for "Nosferatu" 1978?
this is the good one
