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 is rated in the top 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.2/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

For some reasons I never went beyond their first two albums. A shame. I was directed to this album when I heard Goldfrapp made an appearance. While realizing her contributions were disappointing (for her standards) I was already intensely enjoying the soundscapes and beats from Orbital. They know how to make songs interesting purely on a sonic level as good electronic musicians should.

The textures and sounds are out of this world and the rhythms and melodies take you on a journey
