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 18% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 73.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.6.

Many sweeping majestic tracks. Everything you need within symphonic metal. Ticks all the boxes. Has grown very nicely on me. (Edited)
This album represents the pinnacle for the band. It combines the melodies and hooks of Mother Earth with the production of The Silent Force. My only criticism is the constant slow keyboard intro to every song.
The first four songs and the last song are WT classics, and among their best material. The rest? Meh...more the same. Still, those five songs are enough to make this a critical release for the genre. This album showed that WT was better than Evanescence.
Sounds far too standard. Doesn't stray from the beaten path into new places.
