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 has a Bayesian average rating of 70.6/100, a mean average of 69.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 8.0.

Very misleading title. I only have a couple of BOC studio albums with no intention of getting any more. On seeing this I was hoping to find and discover a lot of heavy hidden gems on it, (being quite a metal fanatic). Not to be. Pretty shitty production with quite a bit of poorly recorded live stuff. Overall, very disappointed. The words 'Heavy' 'Metal' & 'Evil' should in no way be used in the title of this album
