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 77.2/100, a mean average of 77.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

Not enough love for Bomber. This is arguably the best, most consistent and cohesive Motorhead album, imho. I am willing to concede that Ace of Spades might be a little better, but it is damn close; Overkill is a distant third, followed by Hammersmith and the self-titled and Orgasmatron, in that order. (Edited)
This is a relatively standard rock album, but it's an absolute blast. Stylistically, this might be Motorhead at their best. (Edited)

Some absolute classics here. One of their best (Edited)
I prefer Ace Of Spades and Overkill but this comes in a close 4th as I put No Sleep Til Hammersmith in first place. Heavy as hell, no messin.

Bomb.. Not so good and the sound is a bit compressed and lacks definition and dynamics (Edited)
