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 73.0/100, a mean average of 71.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.7.

This album kicks your ass! Great guitar work. A great follow up to mezmorize. If you don't like these albums go eat a bag of dicks... (Edited)

System of a Down is my favorite band. This album, their last before hiatus, is the 2nd part to the Hypnotize/Mezmerize 2-CD set. A little faster-paced than Mezmerize, it has some amazing tracks, and the more you listen to it, the deeper it becomes.
I love this album. More melody in a lot of the songs compared to Toxicity. Just kept getting better the more I listened. Standout tracks: Hypnotize, Tentative, Holy Mountains, Lonely Day.
This was such a fun, but heavy and cool album to listen to. Hard to explain at times but so good. This is the 2nd SOAD album I've listened to after Toxicity and I'm not disappointed by this one. Some travks were a little weird for me... But the first like 4 were excellent and the best. Each song is well crafted and so unique. Love these guys.

My favourite album by my favourite metal band. I love the sound that is crafted on Hypnotize. Serj Tankien uses his voice as an instrument so well using pitch and melodies and sounds. Malakian's songwriting stands out. I prefer his style to what was written on albums prior. The aggression and dynamic changes make this album unique and fun to listen to.
