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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.7/100, a mean average of 74.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

How could there be no comments for this underground classic?!? This record is something that if you are ready to dive in to it will take you to whole other worlds! It's a new genre that these dudes created in general, but especially here on their debut. Just listen to it and be ready to be impressed.
