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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.0/100, a mean average of 74.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.9.

Album of the year 1999

Still sounding class. Well produced and from when CDs still sounded great. He's had other albums that are ok but this is still easily the best. Frightening that it's over 20 years old. Still cool on here. Let's forget his last album the later roses recordings and rants about face masks. Plenty to love here.
Decent album. Worth a listen.

Enjoyed the exotic intro and then directly into some hard rocking stuff.

Good album. The only one of his really worth listening too. Solo that is.
