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 72.2/100, a mean average of 72.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.1.

I feel this is Kamelot's strongest and most balanced release. The duet with Epica lead singer Simone Simons is a highlight. The album is a little top-heavy; the first 4 songs (5 if you count Abandoned) are Kamelot classics, but the rest of the pickings, while good, tend to be less amazing. Still, the sum is greater than the parts; this album works remarkably well as a rock opera. I'd say it's almost up there with Tommy and Scenes From a Memory. Also, as an aside, it would be nice if users actually listen to some of these albums before 5/100'ing everything. I think these albums are too varied to pan that harshly.
