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 68.4/100, a mean average of 67.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.0.

By far the best cover album ever and one of my favorite Metallica albums to listen to. It really shouldn’t be rated so low…let alone below St. Anger.

I know they're covers, but by god they're brilliant. Some way better than the originals, some not so but overall, this is a fantastic album.

This album shows, prob more than anything else, how much Metallica took from punk. It's interesting to hear it indeed.

One of the best cover albums ever. This was responsible for getting me into both Diamond Head and The Misfits.

I absolutely love a number of the songs on here. Others I'd rather not ever hear again. Though part of Metallica's greatness is taking other bands' work and making it better. They did a lot of good with songs like Am I Evil, Breadfan, Helpless, Crash Course in Brain Surgery, the Wait, and Last Caress/Green Hell. Those songs will always be on my Metallica playlist.

This is an excellent cover album, some songs new and some old, most of them pretty darn good. Metallica knows how to cover a song well, and this album is good evidence of that.
