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 68.2/100, a mean average of 68.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 25.2.

Undoubtedly the best album of all times.

Some tracks are really fun. I can hear some tricks that The Queens of the Stone Age took inspiration from. But nothing really mindblowing.
It might've seemed like an odd choice at the time for Marilyn to go into a glam-rock direction but damn does it work. He wears his influences on his sleeve and it shows and it's for the better, probably his best record he put out of the first half of his career.
Best song(s): "Great Big White World" "The Dope Show" "The Speed of Pain" "I Don't Like the Drugs" "Last Day on Earth" "Coma White"
This particular platter is one nifty lil toe-tapper.

Quite a good album actually. I'm struggling to decide whether it's worth adding to my collection...
I think this is a really good album. If it wasn't for Manson's vocal and some lyrics it would be a GREAT album!

This album rebels against what Antichrist Superstar made him known for. Apparently, Trent Reznor got the credit for being Manson's "mentor", so Manson decided to use this album to re-define himself.
