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 is rated in the top 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.6/100, a mean average of 73.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.9.

Piss Crowns Are Trebled is the best song title I've seen and am likely to see. It's a kickass song too.
Etheral. (Edited)
I agree that it's not their best album, but i'm rather tired of all the crying over the drones in the middle. I mean, some of their great tracks from their earliest works, (Static, Antennas to Heaven, Providence...) have very long drones as well. (Edited)

Eh
The middle two tracks!
Sounds like listening to iDoser!
The other two tracks are good though, it's just bad production
