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 71.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.5.

Same reason, True Detective. But I find album to be very nice, eerie and beautiful. The Forgotten Lake, 24 Hour Stone, Sleepy are almost as good as Far From Any Road, and the album's pretty consistent.
I only decided to check this album out because of True Detective, and I have to say I'm disappointed that none of the songs come close to Far From Any Road. It's all pleasant and cohesive enough, but Far From Any Road is way more exhilarating, dense, and varied than the rest of the tracks. I liked the album, but I'd say you're far better off just watching True Detective.
