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 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 72.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.9.

This is their best album of the 2010s. The songs are tighter than they've ever really been and the musical acrobatics are never out of place. I do think a couple songs are a little underwhelming (Barstool Warrior, Room 137 (those lyrics sound like they were written by a high schooler), Out of Reach), but the rest are really good.

Excellent album from Dream Theatre with stunning musicianship throughout. What is good is that the drums aren't stealing the shown like on so many of the earlier albums.

Highest quality prog-metal. Intricate and frequently excellent.

Dream theater are back! The best of both worlds here; their patented intricacy and technically brilliant musicianship on full display, but without being a two hour epic it's still more digestible. LaBrie's voice is better than it has been in a while as well. Those who liked Awake will likely love this one.

first impression: wow - bombastic Dream Theater at its best - again. Very versatile: powerful metal, soft and very melodic and dynamic - again a perfect masterpiece.
