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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.0.

Top notch solo effort. I've always liked Serj's vocals and style and this doesn't disappoint. Not equal to his SOAD work but still bloody great. Better than expected and has held the test of time well also.

Unusual for me to appreciate this style of music, but there's something about Tankian's delivery here that gets me into his riffs and soft/loud/soft variance. I wouldn't play this repeatedly at any time - but it's good for a listen from time to time.
3 other dudes amirite? lol
It´s good but there´s just something missing...
The Unthinking Majority and Feed Us were the best for me. A lot different than System Of A Down too. His vocal style is as appealing to me as ever though. Less shouting too.
