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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.0/100, a mean average of 73.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.7.

Yeah, this album was the end Pantera for me. Gave it a try and it just made me viscerally unimpressed. No redeeming features whatsoever and their snarly anger wears a bit thin at this point.

The one Pantera album I can consistently sit all the way through, and the only one besides Vulgar Display of Power that has no duds. If anyone knows one song from The Great Southern Trendkill, it's Floods, but the title track is massive, Drag the Waters is an absolute jam, and the two part Suicide Note is a rollercoaster.

Extreme and violent, a bit experimental. The best thing about that album is it doesn't sound forced or silly with its aggression some metal bands tent to do.
