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 73.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.2.

This album would be in my top 3 metal albums of 2011, probably at number one, and by no means am I a "metal-head". In fact, I am very picky when it comes to metal because most of it is uncreative, pompous, over dramatized shit. All that being said...this album blew me away. Whether you are really into metal or not Celestial Lineage deserves a listen. I recommend it.
