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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.5/100, a mean average of 77.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.4.

Ruined by the infernal growl/snarl which is absolutely not fecken necessary:

Best track- To Bid You Farewell- No growl/snarl.

This band could be so good if they lose that ruining growl/snarl.

If only the production was a little bit better... It's not bad but lacks the brilliance of Steven Wilson's production on Blackwater. That's why this is my second favourite Opeth album
