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 artists can have several thousand ratings)

Atmospheric music that's somewhat interesting. Points for influence.
If the earth was to spew out music, it would sound like 'Ágætis byrjun', if you were to decipher the wistful thoughts about childhood it would sound like 'Takk...'.
If a higher being were to make a band to make the most beautiful music possible, they would resemble Sigur Rós.

I want to cry almost every time i hear a song by them. They are the professionals at making minimalist but absolutely gorgeous soundscapes.
Before they were any good the band were called Sigur Toss
Although they have some shorter songs with catchy hooks (e.g. Hoppipolla), Sigur Ros is more for the person who has the patience for songs that build and take their time in establishing atmosphere. For the person who appreciates the slow burn, Sigur Ros packs some of the most emotional punches in their music - be it haunting, heart breaking or happy.
