Rating metrics: Help 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 72.8/100, a mean average of 72.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.3.

I managed to go through the first part easier than I would expect, but after a point it became too much for me. This is Slipknot at their most angry. Overall, 50/100.

People = Shit and Plague are really good, but overall this album is a bit inconsistent. I prefer the debut and Vol. 3 over this.

As much as I've grown out of nu metal this is one that I keep coming back to. Call it sentiment if you will (this album came out when I was 18 and hungry for a follow up to their debut) but there a few times where a band had this much hype and were able to deliver so handily. I can put it on today and it is still one of the darkest and heaviest things I have ever heard. Even as my music taste has changed over the years Iowa remains a regular in my rotation.

Most solid Slipknot work, achieving what the band tries to do the best. Still, not the greatest thing you've ever heard, that's for sure.
