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 67.6/100, a mean average of 66.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.5.

If Agalloch is the depressing tranquility of winter, than Celtic Frost is the bitter anger and hopelessness of the season in question. Monotheist is a doom metal masterpiece that takes cues from black metal and a multitude of other styles but in the end finds itself standing out over its contemporaries. This style is later re-explored under Triptykon releases but they are nowhere near as cold, hateful, and immersive as the experience I found on Monotheist. “Drown In Ashes” and “A Dying God Coming Into Human Flesh” stand out on this release lyrically and sonically which conveys Fischer’s strong sense of musical maturity and development since his days with Hellhammer. Monotheist is what I’d call “what the Swans would sound like if they were a metal band”.
