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 71.0/100, a mean average of 70.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

I really love how sinister and abrasive this album is. It's kind of therapeutic.

Hello Mercury Well, hello! I'm assuming you got that at least partially from my chart. I love that album a lot. A lot a lot a lot a lot. Anyway, let me know what you thought. As for me I am listening to.... NOTHING! I'm doing the final packing up of my random odds and ends and computer parts and…

A pure, devilish, screaming, snarling mass of discordant roars and dissonant wails. 1 hour of some sort of mesmerizing soundtrack to the overthrow of heaven by the ornery, hateful waves of hell.

If you like noisy, nasty, strangely beautiful in all it's enforced ugliness type stuff this album is for you. It's sort of ...breathtaking in a way.
