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 is rated in the top 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.5/100, a mean average of 76.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

How am I just hearing this? It’s stunning. It’s ... hard to explain. Shitty “review”. But I’ll try to be back later when I’ve digested it a couple dozen times. First takenis that it’s an utterly immersive and emotional metal album like none I’ve heard.

Absolutely incredible album, Townsend's magnum opus. Perfect from start to finish with some of Townsend's best writing and compositions.
An absolutely superb album from start to finish. Full of atmosphere and energy. Definitely my favourite Townsend album.
