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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.1/100, a mean average of 76.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

Top notch album. Consistently great songs with even most of the lesser known tracks being just as good as the hits. Many of them having a very epic feel about them. Again Mike Patton is the crooning rock king.

This is actually quite an underrated album. It's certainly Faith no more's most diverse and eclectic album. It features all kinds of sounds from metal to country, from funk to ballads, all delivered in that unique FNM way. A very good album, you may not realise how good it actually is.

Best FNM record, focused and varied, great rythm section, and stunning vocal by Mike Patton.

Kind of like 'Angel Dust', this LP's probably a more enjoyable and rewarding listen if taken as a progressive / experimental album (instead of a straightforward rock / metal album that happens to have some experimentation mixed in). Time's been a lot kinder to this than it has to 'Angel Dust', though, and it might just be the better album anyway.
