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 66.7/100, a mean average of 66.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.0.

Call Me When You're Sober is great, Sweet Sacrifice and Cloud Nine also good. Nothing to shout about with the rest of the tracks though.

Basically Amy Lee's first solo album in all but name, there's enough ideas here and drama to cull through for an entire album but unfortunately it lacks actual, well, songs. Nothing's really substantive here, where the story going into the release was far more engrossing than anything that landed on the album itself. The milllion-miles-over-the-top Lacrymosa though is the one track on here you could call fascinating in it's own right.

Very good alternative metal album. Best 10 songs average is 91,5/100 and the album can get very good 90/100. Best songs are "Sweet sacrifice" and "Like you" both 95/100, followed by half of the album very good 90/100: "Call me when you're sober", "Weight of the world", "Lithium", "Cloud nine", "Lose control", "Your star" and "All that I'm living for". All other songs good 80-85/100. Favourite!
This is in my opinion the greatest album of all-time
I know no one here will agree though
(Edited)
Weight of the World is one of their best tracks, but nothing else really stuck with me. Lithium is above average, I guess.
