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 71.1/100, a mean average of 70.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

I bought this album solely due to seeing it's cover and thinking 'you can't get much more Heavy Metal than that'. Was not disappointed. In fact, very pleasantly surprised. Not a Maiden, Sabbath, Priest or Metallica but for an also ran band in the world of metal when this was released, it has some really decent tracks on it. Typical, classic metal. And that's alright by me
