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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.4/100, a mean average of 77.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.7.

Good psych rock/metal. Growing on me with each listen. Some great tracks, bit of filler. Sounds a bit like Mastodon in parts. Not that that's bad. If you like them, you'll probably like this

This album is good, but not great. A Horse Called Golgotha and Swollen Halo are both really good songs. I really like the instrumental intro and outro to the album, I think it adds a certain atmosphere. But there is some filler here. Overall I'd say it's worth a listen.
