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 68.3/100, a mean average of 65.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 26.5.

I had forgotten how good this album is. What I like about Lacuna Coil is the way they draw back the heaviness for the male-female vocal interplay. Spellbound is the standout track. Great Italian metal with at times, a toe in the progressive ocean!

Rather generic by Lacuna Coil standards, this one was a bit of a disappointment. Other than the powerful "Spellbound," most of this is pretty forgettable.
