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 74.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

One of the most perfect guitar records ever. Polished and polished all those crazy ideas into a magnificent record
Steve Vai is an amazing guitarist, but you need to do more than just show off. For the Love of God is the best track.
In my opinion, this - along with Vai's two albums with David Lee Roth's supergroup - the Van Halen-ish "Eat 'em and Smile" and the very Vai "Skyscraper"- are his best in the popular idiom.
Vai's latest release, "The Story of Light," is also very good. "Flexable" is a must-own for "Eat 'em and Smile" group fans.
