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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.0/100, a mean average of 71.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.3.

in flames showing much improvement over debut
EP, LP... I don't care about formats. I just care about the music - so shoot me. Only 5 songs (including an instrumental score) and total run time of 21:33. That's pretty damn good 22 odd minutes if any one asks me, though.
In Flames is what I would call a band in progress. Their first three recordings all feature different singer - or "singer" - so I think it'd be fair to simply call "Subterranean" a band in its own right, or rather, a one-off project by two extremely talented guitarists: Glenn Ljungström and particularly Jesper Strömblad who seems to be one of those rare multi-instrumentalists who - I'd imagine - could operate with ease in any musical sphere, honestly.
Even still, I'd check out their debut "Lunar Strain" and follow-up "Jester Race", just to have a clue where they went from here - and where they originally came from. But for me personally somewhere along the line the band turns from In Flames 1.0 into 2.0 which to me seems like more or less a different entity, and something that ventures beyond my personal tastes.
I am actually no fan of death metal style grunting but the guitars on "Subterranean" are so glorious that I just let it slide.
"Subterranean" is usually labeled as melodic death metal, but in my view there's just so much more to it. The combination of aggressive riffs and uptempo and upbeat folkish tunes probably should not work - but for some reason it does.
"Subterranean" feels like angrier Metallica that is simultaneously on LSD and in terrible pain - and still enjoying and laughing about it. Hetfield/Hammett combo would probably shit their pants before deciding to call it quits and pawn their guitars if they heard these two guys guitar battling live on stage...
Still, a word to the wise: if you don't take the time to learn to sing half decent, then do everyone a favor and just shut the f*ck up. Nothing else to it, really.
PS. At least check out their instrumentals "Timeless”, ”The Jester’s Dance” and a violin rendition of traditional Swedish folk song "Hårgalåten".
