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 is rated in the top 10% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.7/100, a mean average of 74.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.2.

The best British reggae album, and possibly my favourite reggae album. This album has no filler, just eight heavyweight cuts. It helps that they're from just down the road too. (Edited)
Another album that I borrowed from my lovely brother - this album is all anger and social injustice - Reggae with a very English twist. (Edited)
Agree with the comment lower down about this being a reggae album with an English twist.
It's a very fun album.
