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 61.7/100, a mean average of 60.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 60.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 23.6.

Getting better with each listen. You can hear all the influences (Metallica, Guns n Roses, Stone Temple Pilots). Nothing original in terms of sound but still an alright metal album.

Decent album, check this out for some simple hard rock. "Crimson Day" is probably my favorite track. It is a perfect way to show how well M. Shadows can actually sing. That's honestly the most memorable track, maybe besides "Shepherd Of Fire" and "Coming Home." This has been done to death, but "This Means War," while being a decent song, is honestly a blatant copy of "Sad But True" by Metallica. That's honestly my only bad criticism of the album. It's not their best, but not their worst either. Pretty average album.
Packs a punch, but not their best in terms of creativity (like their new album The Stage). Still a very good album!
My favorite track is in fact the bonus track St. James :)

Honestly dont like it that much but Acid Rain is one of the best songs of 2013
Not bad!
I feel this album is unfairly overlooked because there are many borrowed ideas from previous metal bands. So what? Not every record has to be groundbreaking. This is an enjoyable homage to 80s/90s metal, with some great guitar licks and solos.
