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 71.8/100, a mean average of 69.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.7.

This is such an underrated album. Besides the obvious masterpiece that is the title track, the rest of the album also makes for a great listen. Not a single bad song on here.

Hey in the day this was some hip stuff. Unfortunately the bit about dumping trash is pretty un-cool nowadays. He should have been arrested and fined. That said, he has perfect comic timing and it is a funny bit. The other half of the record is listenable with a couple of stand out tracks,

When I had a late-night radio show, I could put on Alice's Restaurant, run down the hall to use the bathroom, and be back with plenty of time. Nobody tells a tongue-in-cheek yet politically biting yarn like Arlo. Don't overlook the Motorcycle Song either.

The title track is a masterpiece. Sadly, the rest of the album doesn't stand out too much. Ring-Around-a-Rosy Rag and The Motorcyle Song are pretty great tho.
