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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 72.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.3.

Although there is metal (death metal or pop metal) sprinkled throughout, and some songs are definitely more metal than others, it's still mostly anime/jpop. The gimmick works, sometimes. Other times, not as much. The first 6 tracks are generally better than the back half. "Akumu No Rinbukyoku" (track 11 - Rondo of Nightmare) is pretty good though. I'm generally neutral about this type of music (it's fine, but not something I want to listen to a lot), but the metal flavor sets it apart from the rest of its anime genre (although kawaii metal seems to be its own thing now).

Really enjoyed this, got it before I caught them at Reading festival and it was definitely a lot of fun. Feels more cohesive than their second album.

Pure fun. Some moments are the definition of addictive pop metal (?) music. Other songs are a bit weaker though.
