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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.9/100, a mean average of 76.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

When this hit my radio station, there were two schools of thought about it: 1. "This is accoustic and isn't even in English, what are we supposed to do with this?" or 2. "Thank you Jesus, this is something a honkey radio station in a tiny Spanish town should be embracing."

It was a godsend to me-- whenever a set or an hour or god forbid a show was threatening to go all Boston or "Sweet Baby James" on me, I could tear it away in a different direction entirely with this; you can get to anything that swings from this, you can get to a hundred Bonnie Raitt off tracks, Bela and the Flecktones, Toots and the Maytals, Orleans, Dylan, lotsa Dylan... I think it is a great album, and I love the attitude that caused them to insist on making and releasing it-- but I'm not entirely dispassionate in my judgement of it.
