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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.6/100, a mean average of 76.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.2.

A little more ABBA than I need, but their collection of songs is plenty deserving of two disc coverage.

Overall, an excellent collection of songs by ABBA. It is often very difficult to not listen to the whole thing--which can be arduous since it is so long. For a greatest hits compilation, it doesn't get much better. ABBA were truly prolific songwriters.

The only ABBA album you need. And you should definitely have it (either this, or ABBA Gold).
