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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.6/100, a mean average of 72.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.5.

Impressive for what they were at the time, and a big step up from their debut album, in my opinion. Side note, the vocal work on this album is the pure definition of talent.
Second best album by this band. Some stand-out tracks and some variety overall. I don´t like the vocals, but overall it´s some of the best this band has ever made.
I keep coming back to this album all the time, as it has some of my favorite A7X tracks of all time :)

Nice transition between screaming and singing
Average / Rather Good
