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 66.7/100, a mean average of 64.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 64.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.5.

This is a pretty dark album and the album does a good job in creating an ominous tone and atmosphere which is well maintained. It is quite consistent as well with each song being pretty decent and none of them really stray to far away from the sound they are trying to make. The bass lines are very catchy and enjoyable on some of the songs as well and they really help to build the tension of the music. However, where the album struggles is the lack of any real great songs as there isn't anything to draw me back to this album. Furthermore, it can be a little simple and repetitive at times making it a bit boring. Overall, a dark and atmospheric album that is pretty decent but it isn't anything special.
