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 is rated in the top 12% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.6/100, a mean average of 73.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.8.

The Satanist is in a league of it's blackened death metal own. Very dark, very powerful, very Behemoth. Conceptually, it will not go down as my favorite album. Knowing that Nergal plays the part almost to a T (is he really a "satanist"? I suspect, yes, and I won't debate that with others), it doesn't feel autobiographical, but perhaps it is. This album is riff heavy, filled with evil sounding guitar solos and pounding bass. Play O Father O Satan O Sun at the bar some night on the Touch Tunes. It's wild.

The Satanist has the consistent instrumentals you would expect from black/death metal album. In particular, the guitar interludes add a lot of flavor to the album. Lyrically, I would have liked more variety with every track basically melting down to "Hail Satan".

Fan-fucking-tastic album by Behemoth. Bringing back black metal from their roots into a brilliant, catchy mashup of their recent death metal. Their best release thus far and by far.
