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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.6/100, a mean average of 74.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.7.

A real high point for death metal. Great musicianship, and it manages to sound evil as hell while still being pretty rockin' and even somewhat catchy at times. A really unique sound here.

I could see myself doing things with this album. It's all adventure. Down hill or up.

Not bad for a death metal album. The music is good, it moves and it grooves, and it even rocks in places. Still, I can't get beyond the Cookie Monster vocals; hence, the three star rating.
