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 64.4/100, a mean average of 63.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 63.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.6.

Hell of an album. I really enjoyed the vocals and metal in this one. It may not "be cool" to sound like this anymore but this Disturbed album is certainly a great capture of the turn of the century new path of metal. OO AH AH AH AH!!
Best Disturbed album released yet.
NOTE: (As of the 3rd of June 2017) I have listened to every song from this album and I have to say it is quite interesting listening to songs that aren't singles, I have listened to Violence fetish, Fear, Numb, Conflict, etc.
But obviously, the best song for me is Down with the sickness (100/100) and the second best is Voices (90/ 100) and third (tied) being Violence fetish and The game (80/100) and some songs are either 75/100 or 70/100 which is still great, Want and Numb are good and ok (65/100) and (55/100).
In future, I need to listen to the songs from albums that aren't singles because I used to rate the album whilst only listening to 4-6 songs (or even less) from a specific album but in the future, I shall listen to more of the album entirely.
I don't own this album but I now have all of the songs on my MP3 player because I downloaded them from specific music sites.
NOTE (again): My rating for this album could get edited because that's just me at times editing things. Or, it could get deleted, depending on what I think about it.
