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 is rated in the top 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.3/100, a mean average of 76.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

That title track will ring out for centuries after the human race is but a distant memory. The next two tracks are fascinating, but the last one is a bit too dissonant for me.

I'm usually pretty good with ambient and such, but I just find the title track, well, dull. The rest is pretty interesting neo-classical type stuff, but that opener is just the same motif repeated quite a bit. I'm ok if it's slow, but I need some progression. I felt like I hadn't gone anywhere in half an hour. And maybe that's the point, but it didn't really jive with me.
The title track is the perfect representation of the sound of a spaceship wandering slowly through the quiet empty space.
An interesting album by Mr. Eno. Not to every ones taste but I like it.

the polar opposite of trout mask.. only 4 or 5 notes in the piece, could be construed as simplistic, but it has such a hypnotic effect.. and each time a new bit of instrumentation comes in.. ahhhh.... fuck, i'm getting weirder by the day.
