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 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.6/100, a mean average of 72.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.8.

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.

Probably one of the most brutal albums ever recorded, which means it's an acquired taste. Don't like this music, you'll end up hating it. But, you gotta give it credit for it's sheer brutality, as seen obviously on tracks like "People = Shit" and "Disasterpiece".

For someone who likes this kind of metal, surely a good album. It's definitely not my taste and I switched off at track 6.

An extremely aggressive and hostile sounding record that doesn't let up for a moment. People = Shit, Heretic anthem and I Am Hated are among the standout tracks, but it's all pretty solid.
