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 66.2/100, a mean average of 63.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.1.

"multi album concept" being some ridiculously overblown, generic story taken from a comic book that one of the band members writes. that has a possessed bicycle in it. basically what they did is they jumped the shark on album 3, LOL.

Obvious musical talent, yet I can't get into this vocal style... like at all.

This was the album that got me into this band. I had heard their earlier stuff and just couldn't get into the sound. They had a different producer for this one and (to some controversy) he heavily tweaked their sound. On this album, and all that follow it, the band sounds huge. I know this upset purists, but this is a band that deserves to sound big!
It also warrants mention that this is but one of several entries in a multi-album concept. The scope of this band's work is unprecedented.

LIstened to this and it has a sound that is polished, as if it was going to be the big one. No super weak tracks, but their sound begs for a huge song and it just doesn't happen. I'm not likely to ever play it again. Even though its good...just not interesting.
