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 76.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.7.

Regardless of your opinion or your ranking of this album off Metallica's albums...you can't deny how HUGE this album was for the band and metal and how it took them and the genre into a whole other stratosphere.
It just achieved the amazing feat of going 2x Diamond (20x Platinum) in America and has been on the US Billboard 200 albums chart for a total of 790 weeks.
This has always been and always be Metallica’s Magnum Opus and the gold standard in which Metallica albums will always be compared to.
Yes, it is very polished sounding, yes it was all over radio and MTV, yes it sold millions of copies and yes the album made Metallica into a massive mainstream juggernaut…but that doesn’t make the album any less amazing than it already is.
This was Metallica at the peak of their powers and this album should at least be ranked #1 in their overall discography and in the Top 100 Albums Of All Time on this site.
Bought the vinyl recently, fantastic.
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
