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 70.0/100, a mean average of 69.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.0.

I'd compare this debut to Smashing Pumpkins' debut, Gish, but I much prefer this. Their sound on this album is very similar to SP, in the 2000s they changed more to pop-rock but I'd say this album just about shades their 2000s work. I'm surprised this band (and especially this album) don't get more recognition globally. High is an incredible song, one of my favourites and is the standout track on this album. But overall the quality is very strong throughout. Other highlights are My Perfect Day and Polythene Girl. A must-listen for any Smashing Pumpkins fan.
