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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.7/100, a mean average of 78.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

Probably Metallica’s most progressive and most underrated and overlooked album…despite it selling over 9 million copies in America in alone and being on the US Billboard 200 albums chart for a total of 123 weeks.
Classic metal/hard rock album that introduced the world to Metallica and got them out of the niche heavy metal gutter.
This album grew on me recently, altough nit as well mixed and as consistent as their previous works it's still solid and a good finish for their excellent 80s run. One is as moving as anti-war song can be, Blackened is amazingly aggressive and title track is great piece of progressive metal.

Not best Met-Allica, the drum sounds on this album sucks, thin and the snare dominates.
If this album had the production that Master Of Puppets had, it would easily be one of the greatest metal albums of all time.
This album suffers from it's long length, and abysmal production. Nonetheless, it's a classic of the thrash-metal subgenre.
One has to give them credit for coming up with this. First, they had to deal with the loss of Cliff Burton. Secondly, this signifies a change of direction adding progressive elements to their trademark thrash sound. It is an ambitious, complex and unique album. Despite that, I find this the least accessible of their albums. I can't put my finger on it, the length of it definintely is a factor, maybe the flaws production -wise and the glaring absence of bass that many have already mentioned , but in general I fail to connect with it anyhow. Overall, 65/100.
Favorite Tracks:Blackened, Eye Of The Beholder
Awesome album.
Favorites: One, The Frayed Ends Of Sanity

After the tragedy of Cliff Burton's death, Metallica came roaring back with AJFA. Even without the bass, this album is an all time classic thrash metal. It also set5 up Metallica for even greater success with 1991's Black Album.
