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 71.8/100, a mean average of 71.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 7.8.

The strong point of this album is clearly variety. On one track the gentle guitar reminds you of artists like Love and on the next you find yourself being attacked by some pompous Matt Bellamy inspired vocals, then follow a couple of tunes taken straight out of a medieval festival , so there's definitely something for everyone, but the over the top Spaghetti Western like moments are what make this album what it is for me.
