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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.1/100, a mean average of 77.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.9.

There is an interesting history to this album. Actually Badfinger's third album was ready for release in spring 1971, but for several reasons Apple would not release the album. Some of the songs were re-recorded while others were simply scrapped. Fortunately these songs have surfaced in recent years as bonus-tracks on "Straight Up" and "No Dice". Amongs these are gems like "I'll Be the One", "Baby Please", "Sing for the Song" and great alternate versions of "Name of the Game" and "Perfection" produced by Geoff Emerick
