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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.6/100, a mean average of 74.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.0.

Some of their best work here. Minerva is probably my favourite Deftones song, Hexagram is great too. Even the quieter Lucky You still works.

Hexagram ~ Needles And Pins is one of the best 1-2 punches ever.

a very dark ablum. can't top "white pony" because there are some songs i skip... "deathblow" and "good morning beautiful." Some of deftones best songs are on the album. "hexagram" "minerva" and "battle-axe" are my favorites
