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 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.

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.

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

It's very easy to forget just how cutting edge this album was. It holds up much better than I imagined.
