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 17% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 74.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.1.

I love this album! The vocals are just absolutely outstanding and the music is just incredible. This is definitely one of my favorite prog albums. Definitely worth a listen.

The casual listener will probably struggle with this one, as it is a little difficult to penetrate. It is wall of sound/noise. Like a heavier denser version of Pure Reason Revolution’s classic album, The Dark Third. Giving this one time and choosing wisely when to blast you ear drums will pay huge dividends. A great album worthy of the top 5 position.
Best album of 2013 so far for me.
Check it out if you're looking for a metal band with ridiculous musicianship, well written songs, no screamed vocals, and originality.
For fans of: Periphery, Tool, Karnivool, Between The Buried and Me, etc
