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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.7/100, a mean average of 74.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.0.

This album is actually crazy! King Diamond's vocals will give you the best nightmare's you'll have in your life. But what I found really interesting was just how they used such bluesy riffs and turned it into this new Black Metal genre. Love this album the whole way through although it's a little bit frightening.

I would get this album if I were you simply for the haunting vocals. Evil is one of the best heavy metal songs ever. Don't get caught up in the fact that the lyrics are openly satanic. Good music is good music. Enjoy.
