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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.7/100, a mean average of 76.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.7.

This album makes me shed tears, and then the tears form a giant dragon that destroys everything in it's path while we just all sit and enjoy the carefully controlled chaos. All Im saying is it's a beautiful album. (Edited)
Why so under-rated? :(
I swear, if they are not popular thrash-metal, alternative or classics like Black Sabbath, metal gets no love on this site.
