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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 79.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.0.

I am quickly becoming more and more convinced that this is one of the greatest experimental rock albums ever recorded.

Talk Talk can do no evil, apparently. The two Talk Talk members I assumed to be simply "along for the ride" with the songwriting team of Hollis/Friese-Greene turn out to be excellent avant-garde musicians in their own right. This goes even further than Laughing Stock, and in a much more interesting way than Mark Hollis was able to on his self-titled album. That is partly because while it does go further than Laughing Stock, it also spreads in new directions, incorporating more dub and tribal influences. I hear a good bit of krautrock in these songs as well. Great stuff! It's rare that I enjoy an album this much on first listen
