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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.6/100, a mean average of 77.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.5.

Double CD this one. For a symphonic metal band teaming up live with a symphony orchestra I was left a bit disappointed. CD one is very orchestra orientated focusing more on classical without really giving it a heavy touch. It's not until the end of the first CD then on the second that it hits the mark that I was expecting once the band and Simone Simons beautiful voice kicks in. Not at all bad. Just could of been better.
