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 69.7/100, a mean average of 68.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

A truly bizarre record. At points the album's sound quality is truly terrible and the glitched up bagpipe sound on the 4th (?) is hard to describe. I can't tell whether its terrible or a work of genius, but I know I love it. It reminded me a lot of the recent Swans records, where the songs are physical and punishing. I need a few more listens, but I think I'm going to love this record even more as I listen, but my confusion about whether it is actually good or not will only grow.

Sorry, Nech, this one is a mess and not in a good way. =(
