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 is rated in the top 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.6/100, a mean average of 77.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.3.

Amazing album but one I’m not drawn to as much as Lateralus or Aenima. Why that is I can’t really say. Perhaps the album isn’t quite as inspiring as the other two in some respects.

My favourite of their albums. A couple of the tracks (Intension and Viginti Tres) let the rest down and drag down the rating though. Right In Two, The Pot and Vicarious are my highlights.

I'd say this is my third favorite Tool album. Not quite as good as Lateralus, but it's pretty close. I think the "Wings" tracks are some of the best music I've ever heard in my life, it's far and away the best song here.

imo this is Tool's best record. Everything just works perfectly. I know this might be odd to say, but I think this might be their most commercial album, except for Rosetta Stoned. But this album is filled to the brim with catchy guitar riffs and bass lines
