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 77.1/100, a mean average of 77.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

Progressive Rock/Pop at its finest. The album can be a lot to take as there are a lot to take in soundvice, but it really just gets better and better. I actually love the album more today than I did when it first came out. If I could have a say I think they should have cut two songs in the end of the album, as it is a quite long one with a lot of information, so by cutting two songs (Louisa and Small Ambulance) it would have been perfect.

And The Glass Handed Kites is a record that works better as a complete album than as a collection of songs. This was recognized by the band, as they created seamless transitions from track to track. The transitions create a structure wherein the songs are movements within the larger framework of the album. This framework is in my mind broken into smaller sections composed of several songs, for example "Fox Cub" through "The Zookeepers's Boy" makes up one section, since they flow together even more naturally than other songs do. The album's sound is pretty ambitious, while still being pop music. This makes the album very listenable, while still having enough going on to reward multiple listens. One of the best modern pop rock albums, it's definitely worth your time.
This album is simply amazing. Beautiful compositions
