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 has a Bayesian average rating of 69.7/100, a mean average of 68.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.0.

You can't mistake Slayers sound. Few good tracks on this (lead single Eyes of the Insane being my top pick) But like a lot of their other albums, it permeates a very repetitive tone throughout. Hard core fans should like it. For a casual metal explorer, I'd go with their more acclaimed albums.
