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 77.0/100, a mean average of 79.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

One of my favourite metal albums. I was so surprised at the amount depth this album has in it's lyrics. White Pearls, Black Oceans.. is one of the most beautiful sad songs i've ever heard ! Good stuff. Sonata Artica is a wonderful band and this is their best album.

Fantastic power metal album and the best Sonata Artica album, so full of emotion, great melodies and the bands best lyrics and storytelling.. the band just kills it here and Tony Kakko is soo good. There's just something magical about this one. Love it !

Don't Say a Word and My Selene, two of the band's best songs, and White Pearl, Black Oceans is their opus magnus.

Pretty impressive album. I like the guitars and the vocals. Has a sort of computer game soundtrack thing going on. Best song would probably be Reckoning Day, Reckoning Night.
