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 70.8/100, a mean average of 70.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

Now I have not listened to any Wire albums other than the original three. They are in their fucking sixties and they are making some bangers here.

After the relatively streamlined sound of 2015's 'Wire', 'Silver/Lead' see's them return to the oddness of last year's 'Nocturnal Koreans'. Wire still sound like Wire (which is no bad thing), it's just that their elbows and ankles are a bit more visible this time round.
