Rating metrics: Help 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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.6/100, a mean average of 75.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.2.

Whenever they slow down and write an Alt-Metal song, it always ends up sounding like a combination of Angel Dust and King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime. Combine these songs with Ben Weinman's amazing ability to write the most chaotic yet catchy Mathcore songs to exist, and this album really stands out in their career. I'd say Ire Works strikes the best balance in their discography, while also adding some Electronic elements in a good handful of the songs, thus further distinguishing this album.

Probably the best "core" album ever. I know that isn't saying much, and the screaming/grunting at the beginning is still a turn-off, but the prog direction here is magnificent.
