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 69.7/100, a mean average of 67.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.1.

Much better than it's given credit for. A lot better than a few of his albums ranked above it. My only gripe is the wasted 9 minutes at the end of Misery Machine which ruined a perfectly good song

My favorite Marilyn Manson album. He had good to very good albums after but this was his mission statement. Everything you need to know about the Artist is expressed here.

The best Marylin could ever get in his whole musical career.
His voice is pretty bad.
Great work, love the album cover.
