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 73.3/100, a mean average of 72.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.0.

Great sense of diversity for a hardcore punk record which does not really say much for a style infamous for its minimalism, but the point is this is not one of those hardcore records where it feels its all a variation of the same song (like in the case of Damaged and Minor Threat, no matter how much I like those records). Kids of the Black is one of the masterpieces that transcends the limitations of the genres alongside Holiday in Cambodia by the Dead Kennedys.

Great hardcore punk album which is criminally underrated on this site. The sound has an edge but it’s not too heavy. Not a huge fan of first track but it gets progressively better reaching a peak with Kids From The Black Hole, No Way & Amoeba.
