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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.1/100, a mean average of 77.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

A Classic Doom, Melodic Death / Black Metal, whatever you want to call it, in particular the track "Black Winter Day", a beautiful guitar riff and nice keyboard elements.
Other mentions, "Drowned Maid", "Forgotten Sunrise" and "To Father's Cabin", which to me had a little feel of "The Stranglers" about it! A sadly overlooked album by many, give it a spin!
