Rating metrics: Help 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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.1/100, a mean average of 76.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.1.

“These are the two albums of 2009 I listened to: First an album I own/know already: One of the best albums by this fairly classic heavy metal band. But to me they still can't compete completely with the real classic heavy bands. But some of the tracks are very good as is proven by Jake Leg, Swollen…”

This album is good, but not great. A Horse Called Golgotha and Swollen Halo are both really good songs. I really like the instrumental intro and outro to the album, I think it adds a certain atmosphere. But there is some filler here. Overall I'd say it's worth a listen. (Edited)

Good psych rock/metal. Growing on me with each listen. Some great tracks, bit of filler. Sounds a bit like Mastodon in parts. Not that that's bad. If you like them, you'll probably like this
