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 has a Bayesian average rating of 73.0/100, a mean average of 73.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.6.

I love the quiet, reflective songs, but the really fiery, forward songs sound like really bad 80s power ballads to me...

One of those albums that sound exactly like what the album cover looks like. Just beautiful.

"Rook" is so much better!
Very unique listening experience. I feel this one may be a grower as going straight into it didn't feel right. Whole sound is not one I would usually listen to. That said Black Eyes and Corridors were both lovely.
