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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.8/100, a mean average of 76.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

I find his voice to be too over the top to take him 100% seriously. I know it's mnant to enhance the surrealist and creepy mood of the album, I just find it too exaggerated. Nevertheless, the instrumentation on this album is amazing, and after all it's almost an instrumental album so I think it's a great record overall.

It's good even if it's not entirely representative of the mood of the show, more like Twin Peaks has been suddenly plunged into a bleak and dark hell bereft of any kind of light. So far, Harold's Theme is my favourite as well as Falling. Overall it's well done even if sometimes it get's a bit camp.

If you like disturbing music, just listen to Josie's Past. You will be in for a nice treat!

I have mixed feelings about this album. The instrumental is very great but the overall result is not convincing at all...

Favorite tracks: Laura Palmer's Theme, Falling
Less favorite tracks: Audrey's Dance, Blue Frank / Pink Room, Josie's Past
