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 70.5/100, a mean average of 70.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.4.

I don't think that anything on this album hits the peaks of Sing the Sorrow, but there's still a lot of good moments here like Clove Smoke Catharsis, No Poetic Device, and God Called in Sick Today.
The greatest hardcore punk album of the nineties as far as I'm concerned, Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes may be heavier and angrier, but punk has never been as melancholic and relatable as Black Sails in the Sunset A+.
