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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.2/100, a mean average of 72.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.2.

This is just grandeur plus. Everything on this just injects power. And even the softer tracks and ballads ooze with atmosphere. Up there with their best. Top class band and album
This is the album that got me into Nightwish. For me, the album was a little more accessible than their previous efforts, whilst retaining the power sound. This is an album I tend to listen throughout as their as it is full of great songs.
Very solid Power Metal and Symphonic Metal. It sounds absolutely grandious and has some of the bands best songs overall.
An outstanding, eclectic album that shows the band continuing to progress. They improved with virtually every release (though Wishmaster was a slight regression, in my opinion, due to an over-reliance on power metal). Their next album would take it even further. Anette is pretty good here, but she'll get better on the next release. The Poet and the Pendulum is a Nightwish staple, and Bye Bye Beautiful/Amaranth were huge hits in Europe. The only tune I dislike on the album is For the Heart I Once Had, though I'm also a little iffy on Master Passion Greed/Whoever Brings the Night.
Amazing album! First 3 tracks were fantastic and definitely the strongest part of the album! The Islander was a nice addition to the album too and was one I really enjoyed!
