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 71.6/100, a mean average of 71.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.3.

Shihad's magnum opus. Best they've made. Best metal/hard rock album to come out of NZ. A bit top heavy, second half leveling off a bit but overall this is a fantastic album. If you like metal, get it. You wont be disappointed

Upfront and amazing! Like what I am hearing. Slight (only slight) vein of System of a Down here. As if they were an alternative band and then put in quite a lot of electronics.
