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 17% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 75.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 8.8.

A stunning album to my ears, as far from "banal" as can be. Beautiful and imaginative, just plain fun to listen to. The craftsmanship is dazzling. Top-shelf Krautrock.

As it happens with a lot of these albums, some of these pristine musical experiments are pretty banal and some are inspired and beautiful (Two Oldtimers). Often quite funny as well, despite the clean, almost scientific, approach to making music.
