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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.5/100, a mean average of 76.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.7.

Their best album, and one of my best album ever

Really good! Reminds me of Queensryche.

This is Fates Warning's most accessible album, but don't let that make you think it's either watered down or too mainstream. The group does the ultimate job of creating something musically profound yet listenable. 8 cuts and every on of them is deserving of the highest praise. Not a dog in sight in the top 1% album.
