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 71.3/100, a mean average of 71.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.0.

I've been listening to Megadeth for a long time and this might be my favorite album of their's since Youthanasia. Adler's drumming is superb and Kiko plays some very technical but tasteful guitar leads. Mustaine still writes great riffs and occasionally an extremely well crafted song (see The Threat is Real). Even Ellefson gets a moment to shine with his bass work on Fatal Illusion. Highly recommended for fans of this band.

Megadeth are probably my favorite Metal band but after 30 years of activity we never expect a masterpiece
and although recently to have had great albums (like Endgame)none comes close to the classic albums!
But against all odds this Dystopia is a true masterpiece, their best album since Youthanasia!
Like 40 minutes hate from the book 1984!
Most technical megadeth album, since rust i peace.This one have amazing solos my second favorite from the band every track kills
