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 70.5/100, a mean average of 70.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.0.

It's very easy to forget just how cutting edge this album was. It holds up much better than I imagined. (Edited)
I can understand now why some people like electronica, as the layered percussion and synths can be quite impactful, e.g. "Possible Worlds: Deep PSI". I also appreciated the crystal clean production. Some tracks can be monotonous but the high points on this album are impressive. (Edited)

I dig this, a full electric dance album, not magnificent, but great for any party you might think.
