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 74.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.2.

One of the better Symphonic Metal bands out there. First couple of tracks are the best. Tapers off a bit after that but still alright. At times a touch of folk metal mixes in with the symphonic. I do feel though that a number of tracks would have benefitted from expanding the heavier sections.
Love the songs. Production is a little raw, which they addressed in their follow ups. Favourites are: Mother Earth, Ice Queen, Caged, The Promise.

Some weak lyrics here and there and some slightly generic metal riffs, but the instrumentation and vocal delivery are gorgeous. Not a masterpiece, but a good enough symphonic metal album. Mother Earth and Never-ending story are the highlights for me.
