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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.7/100, a mean average of 77.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

The rule of cool album. Southern badassery. Sludge at it's finest.

Yeah what zachs83 said. It's so damn great!
Simply put, this is the best heavy-metal album of the 90s, and for my money, of all time. It takes the furocity of Pantera, the groove/classic-rock influence of COC, and combines it with the underground metalcore of Eyehategod/Crowbar to create an epic, southern influenced heavy-metal album. This is heavy-metal with a soul to the music. The music is blistering, groovy, and introspective, often all within the same song. This is the sound of 5 veterans of heavy-metal, who are good friends, making a real record and letting their classic-rock influences flow and one helluva jam session. Gritty, passionate, real metal-music...it's a masterpiece.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
