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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.3/100, a mean average of 77.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

Almost as good as Opus Eponymous. It probably won't chart really high, given the usual indie/hipster taste of the users in this site, but it's indeed one of the 2015's best in metal.

A friend tried a couple of times to get me into Ghost. It didn't work for me. Then I listened to this album. Wow, it is so melodic and accessible. No fillers either.
