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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.4/100, a mean average of 75.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.5.

I never got the proto-black metal stuff. Sounds pretty much like a thrash-metal album with cool riffs and great use of tempo changes without being technical. Maybe the tempo changes could be similar to what death-metal bands tend to more often than thash, but I do not hear the black metal stuff. Instrumentally one of the masterpieces of thrash, but the vocals really let it down; they lack the rythmic quality of someone like Tom Araya and instead it sounds like the vocalist narrates a story over the vocals in a somewhat silly dramatic persona kind of way. They are definitely original at least.

Incredibly dark and tense. A proto black masterpiece.
