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 73.2/100, a mean average of 72.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.6.

Fantastic space rock type album by a great modern hard rock band. Black Mountain is one of my favorite bands of the 2000s and I think they really capture that 70s hard rock prog sound quite nicely.
Agree with tmbarnes8 assessment. Starts well but fades I'm afraid
Just got this on white vinyl, never heard it before, and I quite like it. The first half definitely sounded better than the second though.
