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 has a Bayesian average rating of 73.4/100, a mean average of 72.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.5.

A somewhat neglected album that I would rate (slightly) higher than "The Last In Line" (their prior album). Tracks 1/4/5/7 are great. Everything else is pretty good too. The weakest for me are 3/9 but they are alright. There's a little bit of that cheese you will find in most mid-80's metal, but if you don't mind that, this is a solid album.
