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 69.1/100, a mean average of 69.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 23.5.

Almost corny in the fake seriousness. A fun album.

Marilyn's most successful and highest selling record of his career at the peak of his popularity. Still holds up very well even though I know he'd go on to make far better. It's also the perfect Halloween record.

Best song(s): "The Beautiful People" "Touriquet" "Minute of Decay" "The Reflecting God" "Man That You Fear"

misunderstood classic. probably just too hateful and militantly anti-religious for most donkeys. w/e, the production matches the hatred and nihilism of the lyrics and the vocals themselves are powerful and dirty. this is as evil as rock has ever gotten w/o crossing over into some form of extreme metal. if you were raised by hardcore christians and got past all that BS you should be able to feel this. I guess that's not something most ppl will be able to relate to either, w/e, like I said it's misunderstood.

P.S. forget the rest of MM, his next album is a Bowie rip, after that comes a strictly inferior version of this, and everything after that REALLY blows.

Enjoyable at the beginning and at some pieces around the work like the self title, but, for me, was really preachy listen to the whole. Funny that at end sounds like some pop stuff due the repetition. Good album, but not enough to another listening, though.

This album stays interesting in it's entirety. It feels like a great meeting of minds: Marilyn Manson, Jeordie White, and Trent Reznor. I would've hoped they would have continued this sort of marriage, but there was apparently more going on behind the scenes and this would be the last of that.
