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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.6/100, a mean average of 78.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.9.

Clearly Ministry's ultra-hard, mechanized assault is not meant to appeal to all ears. However this is industrial metal perfected. Even with today's modern production you just don't hear many albums that crunch this hard. Before NIN ever carved out a niche in the American mainstream, there was Ministry providing the training wheels as Trent cut his teeth engineering and mixing in the back room of their studio. It just doesn't getting better or more fearsome than Thieves, Burning Inside and So What.
