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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.4/100, a mean average of 77.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 7.5.

This one is really out there. I love We Must Become Pitiless... and was curious about the rest of discography. So I went on listening and the reaction was weird at first, like "ok, the guy wasn't functional back then and this is just an autistic exercise". But with time I became involved with the record and started empathizing with some hooks.
I don't think there's a really good song, It's just a collection of great pop ideas and beautiful moods immersed in madness.
Still, I really like love him as a utterly freak creative force.
