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 12% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.5/100, a mean average of 74.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.9.

It definitely helps to have a lyrics sheet in front of you.

Not their greatest effort. But with tracks like kerosene and pale flesh i still have a lot of hope for a greater album in the future.

Not really my thing, but thought I'd give it a listen, some good tracks early on, loses its way in the middle and nice calming track at the end. Not sure if Ill listen to any more of there music.
