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 12% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.5/100, a mean average of 73.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.2.

Solid Metal but the mixing sounds archaic, especially the drums are badly recorded.

Solid metal. But, The mixing of this album sounds archaic, thus giving a slightly messy result, plus the guitars are put to the background, they do not really rule. Guitar solos do not convince me.
can you play? NO can you write? NO can you flail? YES ok, you're in.

Um dos definidores do metal!

Venom is just a detuned, faster, crappier Motörhead. This album and Welcome to Hell aren't that bad though.

A milestone for extreme metal!
This is officialy called "The First Black Metal" album , nowadays its just Thrash Metal but history is history.
