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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.9/100, a mean average of 75.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.5.

Not to imply that Orchid is bad or that it’s not worth listening to, but Mornigrise serves as a major step forward in solidifying a sonic identity Opeth could be recognized by. Akerfeldt has always had one of the best growls in the business as far as I’m concerned.

This is a great and dynamic sophomore LP.

Pretty much hate it due to the infernal growl/snarl which just about ruins every track:


Best track- To Bid You Farewell- No growl/snarl.
