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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.6/100, a mean average of 79.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

Overall Opeth's best album. Start's off with a banger and doesn't stop sounding magnificent all the way to the end.

For myself, Opeth are the flag bearers of true prog metal and this is another fine album from them. Segmented, layered and complex on most tracks as always. They're one band which does take multiple listens to before passing judgement. And the verdict is they are never one to disappoint and that it always turns out fucking great.

Soldier of Fortune is only a bonus track though? It was never my favourite Opeth album (or even close for that matter), but the more I listen to it the more I appreciate songwriting. Still not my top 5 Opeth albums, but it's a real grower

Sometimes I compare this to Blackwater.
Absoltely brilliant, poetry, and the epitome of prog in the new century

Good album but a little difficult to listen to in one sitting.
