Rating metrics: Help 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 69.8/100, a mean average of 69.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

The gore theme wears out before the first rotation of the album.

This album is fun as hell! The B-movie, sci-fi, and horror themes keep the album thematically consistent and very entertaining. Graves' vocals are top notch, and Doyle shreds like the monster he portrays. Definitely not Danzig's Misfits, but something almost as great.

It's not the Misfits we all love, but come on, Scream, Fiend Club, Dust to Dust, Saturday Night and Helena are all great tunes! Just put aside the fact that Jerry is a complete douche, and you'll see it's worth a listen. "If I cut off your arms and cut off your legs, would you still love me anyway?" One of my favorite Misfits lines.
