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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.8/100, a mean average of 73.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.7.

A knockout debut that soothes and invigorates the soul with all the power and love on the planet.

Gang of Youths debut album broke the band in Australia and into my heart
The tracks on this album are long and sprawling but never over stay their welcome and crackle with intensity
A modern day classic

Not as good as their second effort, but still worth a listen. Fav: Radioface
