Rating metrics: Help 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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.3/100, a mean average of 76.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

An interesting concept: "Darwin's theory of evolution". Classic progressive rock at its best. Piano, synthesizers, guitars. Complex structures and melodies. It has all the qualities of English progressive rock, but it also has the sweet and melodic touch of Italian song. The operatic voice of Franceso Di Giacomo is the icing on the cake of this great musical work.

I'd say best italian album ever; for sure, my favourite italian progressive band ever. To be listened despite of the tongue of origine.

One of the best concept album of italian Prog Rock. The voice of F. Di Giacomo is beauifull.
