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 72.6/100, a mean average of 71.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.4.

While there are hints at classic Tortoise here (e.g. the first two tracks and Gesceap) the overall result is more disappointing than I'd hoped. I have no problem with vocals on a Tortoise album, however, the results are mixed - 'Rock On' sounds OK on its own but it spoils the flow of the album, and 'Yonder Blue' is lovely but creates a high that the following tracks pale in comparison to. It's great to have them back, but a shame they could not make something more coherent.
