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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.8/100, a mean average of 80.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.0.

If you have no Sabbath then this is a collection of a lot of great songs for a starting point. My main gripe with this is out of 32 tracks, only 2 are of Dio era (there are many more songs that should of been included) and only one has a track from when Ian Gillan sang. I guess the title sums it up as the best of Black sabbath came from the early albums. I guess I would of preferred a bit more of an anthology with a few more tracks from there latter years even though the songs weren't in the same league. Instead of this I'd suggest getting any of the first 6 albums (as the majority of tracks on this come from them) or even 'Heaven & Hell'.
