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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.3/100, a mean average of 75.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.4.

Can still appreciate this album whereas Great Southern was the end of Pantera for me.

An improvement over Vulgar Display of Power as it sounds heavier and has some attempt at variety, but still obviously not as great as Cowboys from Hell.

Really good, probably the weakest of the 90's Pantera albums.

Favorites: I'm Broken, Slaughtered

The third in a string of classic metal albums released by Pantera.

Highlights are: Strength Beyond Strength, Slaughtered and Throes of Rejection

For me, it's their best.. I listened to all their albums and this is the one that hit me hard, more solid than Vulgar Display. But my opinion is to taken not-too-much seriously, as I'm not too much into them..

Honestly this is where Pantera loses me just a little. The vocals take a turn that is too guttural for me. Almost screaming. I just prefer his angry, yet clear vocals.
