Rating metrics:
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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.1/100, a mean average of 74.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

4.5 out of 5, landmark album from iconic band.
Only for the weak is an absolute destroyer of worlds.
So are Pinball Map , Swim, Bullet Ride, ...As The Future Repeats Today & Clay man.
The rest are just added bonus.
The contrast between the shear brutality of the C tuning and the melodic passages in this album are played with to perfection.

The first album I bought with my own money. If you are looking for a good melodic death metal album, this is a must-have.
