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 72.4/100, a mean average of 72.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

Very nice album. I like the atmosphere and the strange tempos in parts of certain songs like in the epilogue. I would say that it is better than 2010's Riverside albums, what do you guys/gals think?

For me, this is the best Lunatic Soul (including Fractured), but like most Riverside albums, I find it too inconsistent. The first three tracks are brilliant but then there are too many tracks in the middle that just do absolutely nothing for me.

Totally agree with the previous post. A very rich multi-layered album that gets better on repeat listens.

I've been a fan of Mariusz Duda's work both as a solo artist and with the excellent band Riverside.

I think this album is his best as a solo artist and recommend it highly
