に振れ

English translation: deliberately or intentionally

Japanese term or phrase: に振れ
I am trying to translate the following sentence.

非常に幅広い音楽性が詰め込まれたアルバムだと思いますが、これはもちろん
意識的に振れ幅を大きくしています。

I don't quite understand what 意識的に振れ幅を大きくしています means. Does it mean making the breadth of the album wider is conscious or unconscious?

Explanation:
I am responding to your question 意識的に振れ幅を大きくしています.
First, their effort to make it 振れ幅を大きく is as you put it, a conscious effort, not in at random or unconscious manner.
Now, your title question に振れ does not make much sense by itself, I answered the way I did to make the whole point across.
In essense, the album is made to cover wider repertoire.
