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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 73.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.3.

“Here's a short metal in 2022 rewind if anyone's interested. Mostly nasty, heavy stuff, but there are several which might appeal to your common BEA-er :D (Thanks to Merc, Repo and others who have been recommending me some incredible music all year) Experimental avant prog metal(?) or something like…”

“This is, without a doubt, some of the best sludge I've heard in quite a while. This is the soundtrack of America falling apart. There is so much pain and frustration and anger built into this album, and what I love about it is that Chat Pile is so very methodical with their sound. There aren't a…”

Bleak and unflinching, ‘God’s Country’ hits with real force and intensity. Will be keeping a close eye on this band for future releases… (Edited)

“God’s country” is brutal. Heavy distorted guitars and bass will slam into each other with force. The vocals are guttural screams of anguish at the state of the world and its tragedies. This is most striking in “Anywhere” as the lyrics go into the immediate aftermath of a mass shooting. The limitation of the record is that after it hits you with its most shocking material, it begins to feel less impactful. The more abstract themes of murder just don’t have the same reality. At the risk of sounding morbid, “Grimace_Smoking_Weed.Jpeg” comes off as unintentionally comedic with a McDonald’s mascot being a suicide encourager. Still nasty, heavy, and worthy of attention.
