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 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 70.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.6.

"In this river" and "Fire it Up" are in my opinion the two songs that stick out the most "Suicide Messiah" and "Death March" come next. The rest is also pretty good but a bit too similar. Overall and nevertheless one of the best BLS albums.
