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 72.8/100, a mean average of 73.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 6.8.

This is pretty innocuous stuff as far as prog goes. The guitarist is obviously plenty talented, but he doesn't seem to be especially interested in pushing his instrument very far. Still, the songs are nice and sunny, built on bright organ textures, dreamy vocals and clever jazz elements. Here and there I'm reminded of what Camel would do later in the decade.
