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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.9/100, a mean average of 74.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.6.

Kid A is often acknowledged as the “greatest left turn in music history”, and if that’s the case, Scott Walker’s Tilt is at least one of music’s “Greatest Takings of a Fork In The Road”.

Signs of this type of darkness and song structure were evident on his previous record, but Tilt takes those ambitions and ups the ante completely.

Impressive record with an haunting atmosphere.
Feels like the experimentation had a beauty criteria.
Scott's voice just elevates the gorgeous sound paintings.
