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 70.0/100, a mean average of 69.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.7.

Sepultura combines fast-paced guitars with world class drumming to create fantastic metal music underneath relevant and inspired lyrics. Machine Messiah is a great album that combines many of the political and scientific issues of today to create something great that will hold a strong place in my modern metal collection. (Edited)

This is awesome. Sepultura's later work deserves more praise. Love that most of the later albums are concept albums. (Edited)
