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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.8/100, a mean average of 76.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.7.

Everything a black metal record should be. Life Eternal and Funeral Fog still give me the shivers. It's dark and incredibly eery. Some find Attila's vocals comedic compared to his predecessor Dead's but I disagree, the operatic's of Attila's style contrast well with the harshness of the guitar riffs.
I believe in a certain separation of artist and art but come on, this album was made by vile people and they don't deserve to be listened to.

The infamy of Mayhem is much more interesting than their music.
