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 67.0/100, a mean average of 66.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.8.

To this day (2022) one of my Top 3 DT Albums.
Despite it's weak sounding one can hear their potential for greater things to come.
Great Songs ; great musicians ; excellent debut.

Very very very good album! I think its all the Rush in the system which is causing these words to type. Like all fast paced, no pantomine, lots of guitars. Might be telling story, couldn't tell. I mean that is something you want to watch out for with Dream Thea... stories.

A solid debut - slightly above average overall. It's pretty consistent, but there are only a few "wow" moments. The first three songs are particularly good, and The Killing Hand and Light Fuse and Get Away show flashes. Only a Matter of Time only got worse with age - it's not a good live song.
