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 17% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.2/100, a mean average of 73.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.9.

Los británicos se convirtieron en los noventa en los reyes absolutos del Gothic y el Doom, bien aderezados con toques aquí y allá de Death Metal. Tras un inmenso 'Icon' publicado en 1993, 'Draconian Times' supone para muchos fanáticos de Paradise Lost su obra cumbre. Refinaron su sonido haciéndolo más accesible y el resultado no pudo ser mejor, pues el trabajo entra solo y sabe conservar la esencia y el dramatismo propios de un grupo de semejante nivel. La primera vez que escuché 'Draconian Times' me voló la cabeza y canciones como "The Last Time" se ha ganado de por vida un hueco en cualquier lista de reproducción que haga. Un disco perfecto para adentrarse en el sonido Paradise Lost con un Nick Holmes apoteósico, derrochando voz y un Gregor Mackintosh que se sale en los solos y en la composición. Lo fúnebre jamás volvió a estar tan vivo.
