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 72.9/100, a mean average of 73.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

"Abba with balls" - that is how they were described to me. I loved Under Lock and Key, but really loved this album. Although on reflection, I agree with paladisiac that the second side suffers a little.

A good hair metal album, but not as good as their prior two releases. It suffers from a brutally mediocre and cliched 2nd half before a pleasant respite in "dream warriors". the singles are basically the best tracks.
