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 is rated in the top 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.4/100, a mean average of 77.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.6.

Metallica transition to heavy metal here, but thankfully their thrash past makes its presence felt and the band is still pretty edgy and the playing is still great. Wonderful guitar riffs and solos, and some very good songs. They made metal and thrash accessible to a rock audience, and consequently the album sold well, even if it isn't quite as interesting as their previous albums.
Best: "Holier Than Thou" as it's a bit edgier than the rest.
Not a bad album, but there are couple of filler tracks and it lacks the lyricism and energy from their previous records.
Probably their best album. ??Drummer pulls

Five Classic METAL songs, 2 good, and 5 very mediocre Metallica songs.

The perfect trash metal album and the most complete from Metallica. Every track is really good....
Rien que pour Nothing Else Matters cet album vaut le coup.
a perfect radio-metal album. It does have a host of flaws though
I was never sure if I liked Metallica but I like Diamond Head so thought I would give this, their most accessible offering a go. I like it, great riffery and guitar soloing in parts. 'Wherever I Roam' is a personal favourite with its Eastern influenced opening, heavy riff and blistering guitar soloing. I don't think I will head further into the Metallica catalogue as I am not a lover of all out thrash metal which I understand is what their core output has been. Good on Bill Bailey getting Enter Sandman an airing on Strictly!
