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 has a Bayesian average rating of 70.2/100, a mean average of 69.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.5.

Although it doesn't have their big hit, this is Argent's best album overall. It tends to be heavy and progressive, especially the epic instrumental "Lothlorien."

Argent was Zombies' heavy son. I like the way Rod Argent and Russ Ballard cooperated on this album. Rejoice and Chained are quite unusual tracks, but interesting listens.
