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 has a Bayesian average rating of 66.4/100, a mean average of 64.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 64.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

Very under rated album. This concept album is best listen to in order, but the songs are good as stand alones. It has a more polished musical style then his earlier albums as well as a more updated 2000s sound. This concept album about a man stalking and kidnapping women to wrap them in silk and dismember one leg to create a spider is brilliantly creepy.
It was released with a 3 song music video that can be found on YouTube as well as 2 bonus tracks that are also great.

Despite the intriguing concept and strong lyrical execution, Along Came a Spider is bogged down by occasionally dull musicality and the general lack of a dynamic approach. Not bad, but Alice has many, many other concept albums that deserve a recommendation over this one.

Along Came a Spider is one of Alice's most mind blowing works! A rock opera with a taste for vengeance, if you like Alice Cooper even in the slightest, get this album. All but two songs were very good. I honestly didn't expect much when I decided to listen to this album. Alice Cooper's music itself may not sound creepy unless you lisyen to the lyrics of the ALBUM, not just individual songs. Try this out!
