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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.7/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.6.

Anyone who wants to trace the massive influence of NWOBHM on the development of thrash metal needs to listen to this addictive album where Overkill crib so many riffs from both Priest & Maiden that they ought to have garnered royalties. Great stuff especially for fans of classic Priest, Maiden & Kill "Em All Metallica.

I like "Feel the Fire" the best on this album. Very Iron Maiden-y.
