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 18% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 72.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.5.

Their first release already shows the potential of what will come . I loved their energy and emotional vocals from the beginning. There is not a bad Deftones - Album . Period .

Fair to say that the best was yet to come for this band. Their worst album by a distance, in my opinion.

Bored, one of the best songs ever! Teens are just angry if they don't get a nut, nowa days more than ever so it's a song ahead of his time.

7 words, Minus Blindfold, maybe One Weak are standout tracks too... Best Deftones album IMO, although they're all consistent gems!
