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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.7/100, a mean average of 76.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

The first half of this album is absolute dynamite. Unfortunately it really drops off with the last 6 tracks, specifically the two shortest tracks Renholder and Over which don't really offer anything. 3 Libras is a beautiful beautiful song, it will really speak to anyone who's been in the position of wanting to speak to a loved one who cannot understand or communicate with you.

Even though it's a different band you can't help but think Tool. 'Judith' is the standout track for me by a country mile and one of my all time favorite songs. Good album but overall does nothing to set it apart in being unique in any way and put it up in the great category.

This album has an incredible sound. It has the exact combination of memorable riffs and appreciation of small details. Not to mention that this was my introduction to Maynard James Keenan's impressive voice. If you move from the notorious singles ("Judith" or "3 Libras") you can check some underrated songs like Renholder or Thinking of You that are equally as good.

Magdalena and The Hollow are good tracks. Sort of like a less heavy version of Metallica.
